Hi<br>
<br>
If you are an internal student and a teaching assistant, then (at list at the Technion) you can get a scholarship + some low salary. I don't know what is the current amount<br>

Very interesting, thank you. How many hours per week did you have to<br>
devote to the MSc? As for enjoying studies less, I hear you but I<br>
think I would less-enjoy having no cash-flow to pay the bills.<br>
<br>
I have also been considering whether a second degree in management<br>
e.g. MSc Management, or MBA may be more beneficial career-wise than<br>
another geeky MSc. :)<br>

(I hope this isn't so off-topic as to cause offence.)<br>
<br>
I'm an computer scientist and oleh chadash , just finished ulpan bet<br>
plus. 15 years experience in the field, 1.5 years in Israel, was CTO<br>
of a startup last year, this year I've been mostly studying Hebrew.<br>
<br>
So now it's time to polish off my CV and further my career. I've been<br>
browsing the main Israeli high-tech websites today, as an example I<br>
was just looking at the IBM Research Labs - very interesting indeed.<br>
However most positions seem to require an MSc. There is a definite<br>
cultural difference between here and the UK in terms of second degrees<br>
- I don't have one. I'm 34 and don't want to hang about forever, but<br>
at the same time I might consider postgraduate studies if they were<br>
really useful career-wise. Naturally, it's also too late in the year<br>
to apply for the upcoming academic year...<br>
<br>
I'd be interested to hear any thoughts from the list on whether it<br>
would be a Good Idea to consider an MSc at this point, or whether I<br>
should settle for a role where "just" a BSc is required, and see if I<br>
can work with future employer to study whilst I work...<br>

Hello Antony<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I have a first degree in computer engineering from the Technion (faculty:<br>
electrical eng.). After several years of working as computer engineer, I<br>
also got an Msc. from the Technion. My Msc is in artificial intelligence and<br>
I did it as external student again in electrical eng. since (at the time)<br>
they were more liberal regarding external students. The only difference from<br>
learning in computer science is that I had to take an advanced course in<br>
mathematics. Learning in parallel to full time job is not easy, but I think<br>
that the main disadvantage is that you don't have time to enjoy your study.<br>
You do only the bare minimum and you don't have time for extra courses,<br>
seminars and special lectures.<br>
<br>
When I look back, I think that a professional MSc. was a mistake (I never<br>
felt it helped me at work, but who knows), I should instead do a second<br>
degree in management.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I hope that I gave you some helpful hints<br>
<br>
Shahar<br>
