Which is better, dual degree or a bachelors with masters degree?

I really think that this answer depends on your field. For psychology, you almost have to have a Master's in order to get a job! For a business person, a degree in a business and a degree in a finance might be more helpful than a Master's.

For my field - Biochemistry - a Master's degree would be far more helpful than a second bachelor's degree.

If you can finish both Bachelor's degrees at the same time, there is no reason not to! But if you have to go longer to get the second Bachelor's degree, you might just skip the effort and go for the Master's.

I have seen more and more people who are completing 2 Bachelor's degrees while they are in college. I wonder how long it will be before having a Bachelor's degree isnt worth anything anymore! Just like now, having a high school diploma is hardly worth anything!

Hi there,

In my position, I will prefer to go for master degree. Rather than taking another bachelor degree, master degree will certainly be value added. On the other hand, completing master degree may take shorter time.

I guess at this point, in the middle of the credit crunch the job market is so bad that nearly all the job sectors are doing bad.

So if you have a finance or management degree, masters or bacholar's, your going to have alittle lag before you get int the job market, unless you put your head down and get to job hunting.

A masters degree often benefits people in two main aspects: most often than not, the pay is better compared to people without it; second is that it is often required in teaching positions.

A dual degree on the other hand seems to give a little less punch to the hiring department as compared to a masters degree. Unless of course those two degrees are exactly what they're looking for in one person. Most of the time, they hire one person for a specific need and instead of getting someone with a double degree who couldn't handle two tasks at once, they'd rather get two people with masters degree each:D (I hope I was able to deliver that point well).

On the other hand, if your second degree will supplement your skills in your first degree then that's always a plus.

General rule is more education= better offers. Although that is not always the case and it's pretty tough in the industry right now:P

You may want to ask your boss what he needs - someone with more expertise on the same subject or someone with a wider scope of knowledge.

Thanks for the response on my discussion!

i think it is better for you to take a masters degree.

you can study masters and at the same time to study others.

i think you will find a better job if you finished your master degree.
