After spending two years in the corporate headquarters for a major retailer, it became clear that I needed to make efforts to set myself apart from all of the other hard-working people in our office. I decided to evaluate my options to continue my education.

The reasons to get a master=s degree varies from person to person.

More and more individuals find it necessary to get an advanced degree or certificate from some type of higher learning institution to advance the course of their work career. More and more work procedures are being converted to or includes the computer or computer related programs to reduce physical man power.

As the computer and processes become more advanced, the need to have the knowledge to be able to program, control and understand the results becomes paramount both for the employer and employee in the ever- changing world of technology.
