MS in Software Engineering post work experience

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 03:12 PM PDT

Hi guys

Am interested in doing MS in Software Engineering in the US or UK. I am a software engineer with 4.5 years of experience and an electrical electronics engineering degree in under graduation.

1) Is it worth doing an MS in software engineering in US or UK? Would it be rewarding in terms of both career prospects and earnings?

2) What are the requirements for me to apply to the universities?

3) I prefer UK as many of the top ones provide one-year curriculum. But I would like you to counter my preference with your opinions and suggestions too.

How Much of a CHOCOHOLIC are You???

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 08:34 AM PDT

Hey CEans,

I know that most of you people love Chocolate and Chocolate Related Food Items. Well I'm a hardcore Chocoholic:cool:. Infact, those who are addicted to chocolate have a likeness for Theobromine which is a Methyxanthine :confused: (well thats something my friend told me:rolleyes:).

Please share with us about the latest and best flavours in Chocolate that you've tasted. This is also meant for Diabetes patients who'd like to express their long lost love towards chocolates:p.

Will INDIA be DEVELOPED by 2020???

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 08:22 AM PDT

Former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam had a vision of a Developed India, and i believe all of us also have the same idea too. Well, I don't see a reason to say a Yes or a No to the question:|. So I'm posting this question:cean:.
Looking forward to an interesting debate....:rolleyes:

P.S. Please specify the reason as to why do you think India will be a Developed Country by 2020...
