Hi
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

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

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

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