A"Master of Applied Science" is a pretty uncommon title, and regardless is not regulated by any large body, so it could mean anything - check with your school, I doubt anyone else will know or care.The real issue is the thesis - it is generally assumed an MS has one and that an MEng does not. In general, the thesis options are more valued, but that is not uniform and depends a lot on the relationship of the thesis topic to the work area. In general, a non-thesis degree will give you similar job opportunities, save that those looking specifically for innovation or research will prefer candidates who completed a thesis.

AThey are functionally the same and will get you equal jobs - depends which school is better

ANo problemo. Most Masters are in fact conversion degrees to qualify you in an area different from your undergrad. The most famous example is an MBA. And guess what - education is one of those most. Know heaps of people who had an undergrad in all sorts of things like biochemistry but did a Masters to become teachers. Didn't' like teaching though and left - but that's another story.ThanksBill

AI have a Mater of engineering. It involved 10 classes (30 credits) and a comprehensive test.The test actually covered three core courses and two of my choosing as I recall, but it was challenging.A Master of Science involves 8 classes and a thesis of some kind for the remaining credits. There may be differences between schools and programs.I can go into a PHD program if I wanted to. Many require an entrance exam. If I go to the scholl where i received my Masters, the test is waived since i passed the comprehensive final.

AIf you're looking for a job in business, the MBA is probably better, but if you're planning on continuing your education further (PhD), you could go either way.

AMy daughter is doing this. She has a dual BA in economics and political science and is getting her MS in Technology Management with an emphasis on Transportation at a civil engineering school.And she will be the boss of a bunch of engineers.

AA recent report issued by the United States Department of Labor indicates an increasing demand for professionals in all area of health care, including clinical laboratory science. Graduates of the program have an opportunity for careers in clinical practice, laboratory supervision and management, health regulatory agencies, sales and technical representation for scientific equipment companies, research, and education. Clinical Laboratory Science graduate programs teach students to perform the vital task of analyzing tests on various body fluids in order to facilitate the accurate diagnosis of illness or disease by doctors. Holders of a masters (MS) or PhD degree in clinical laboratory science can become hematologists, oncologists, medical researchers and more.Job prospects for graduates of clinical laboratory sciences programs are excellent. Our placement rate is typically 100 percent. Hospitals and other health care facilities throughout the United States are facing a critical shortage of qualified clinical laboratory personnel. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that between 2002 and 2010, U.S. laboratories will need approximately 13,200 new workers/year to properly staff clinical laboratory facilities. Since accredited clinical laboratory programs are graduating fewer than 5,000 each year, job security and increased wages are predicted for graduates of CLS programs.Specialists in blood bank technology perform and supervise both routine and specialized tests in blood centers and hospital-based transfusion services. Their duties include: * Testing for blood group antigens * Investigating abnormalities * Supporting physicians in transfusion therapy * Blood collection and processing * Supervising and/or teaching * ResearchStudents successfully completing this program will be prepared to assume positions in supervision/management, clinical research or teaching in a hospital, blood center, university, government or health care-related industry.

AThe particular name often just depends on the culture of the specific institution where the degree is awarded.Regardless, moving from country to country in the health profession often requires some type of additional testing or certification.

ASounds like you want an IT project management job. There are loads on this site http://www.theitjobboard.co.uk go and see what they have for you. If you want to travel then you could consider contracting and you would be able to change positions and locations regularly.

AMy brother-in-law has a masters in pharmacy, and he makes pretty good money. He is the director of the pharmaceutical department of Nelson Laboratories, a 3rd party testing company (doing independent clinical drug tests for cases of law, analytical chemistry labs, microbiology labs, etc. - either for companies who want to just outsource their QC or for 3rd party testing in disputations). Last I checked it was about $75,000 per year. He and my sister have 3 kids and are only in debt as homeowners, and they will be either paying the house off relatively soon or selling it (or both).
