“Any advice for my son? He is 18 years old and will earn his bachelors in electromechanical engineering from Miami University (Ohio) after two more semesters. His education path has been nontraditional, with homeschooling and early college admission at the local community college. He has a real talent for chemistry. Do you think additional schooling at this point would be beneficial? He is itching to start making some money!”

If you want to work at a big company then you need an advanced degree. I’ve worked for small companies and large companies. Large companies want advanced degrees, not that they need them, they just want them. Smaller companies will hire lesser degree people, pay them well and expect more technical diversity from them. Good place to get experience and you will work through every piece of your education. Large companies will make you specialize and your talents will atrophy making you less employable to other companies.
