Importance of Masters

Life is the greatest boon from God”, as this wise saying goes, every human being on earth has certain inspirations and motives when they live their lives. As he gets mature and persuades things, he becomes knowledgeable and gains understanding of it. During my childhood, I was always attracted towards Computers and their applications. My dream came true when I got admission in one of the Nation's finest colleges at back home. I was pretty thrilled and excited to delve into this amazing field with endless opportunities so I decided to paddle this ship on my own which fulfills my destiny.

I learned a lot during my under graduation and had a chance to walk through all latest computer programming languages and their technologies. During some point of time during my study, I suddenly realized that this is the place I always wanna be!!! So I have decided to pursue my Masters in this field. During my exhaustive search process for the universities for the opportunities in Software Engineering, I found US universities the best in the world. I also got to know that getting degree from US Universities will give you International exposure and will help you to stand on Latest Technical Hubs where Multi National Companies are fighting to build the Human future with technical innovations.

Masters program is generally structured on latest cutting edge technologies with advanced thoughts and ideas. In undergraduate program, we only get an opportunity to explore basic courses which help to create solid base and fundamentals for the same. These courses are only useful to create platform but limited to more practical exposure and projects. Pursuing MS will give you insight regarding the specific topics of our choices which facilitate us to dive into completely. It also gives you an opportunity to become proficient in special areas. For e.g. during my MS, I was always focused on Software Development and Software lifecycles. By virtue of this, I was able to walk through entire SDLC from starting phase like Understanding Client requirements to ending phase like Testing products on different platforms. This facilitates you to understand each and every phase of product development lifecycle so you can have deep ideas which help you to think in systematic way from manufacturing to production.

Along with gaining deep knowledge and practical exposure, my ultimate goal is to become entrepreneur and start my own firm. In order to establish any new technical venture, you have to have complete ideas and plans regarding the product. One has to possess mastery and deep insight for the field which can only be achieved by having higher graduation for the same field along with certain management skills. Statistics shows that in around 1997, there are around 400,000 students get their diploma from US universities so the global market has raised it platform and there are stiff competitions exist in market so in order to become prominent, we should have mastery and knack for our special areas. I understand that value of education and that's why I have to pursue what I love to do.
