Up to 2-3 years in teaching, still can return to industry, IMHO - beyond that, (have to) make teaching a career already...
if TS continue to PhD, write papers, then still can continue teaching as a professor. by then you are regarded as an "industry expert" rather than a "teacher".

Unregistered yr boss is more concerned with serving their self-interests, hinting you to take on more responsibilities in future. Not a bad thing as it will be a career progression of sort for you.
To them, a Msc Chem Eng is not useful in the education section.

take it if:
- u want to have no regrets in life later
- have some spare cash to burn
- may transit into the private sector

Torn between MSc (Chem Eng) or Msc (Education)

Hello!

I need some advices. Currently im a teacher teaching chemical engineering, graduated with Bachelor in chem eng from NUS.

I am contemplating to take up my master degree next year. In my heart, I always wanted to take up MSc (Chem Eng) on part time basis from NUS. However, my bosses hinted me to go take up MSc(Education) if i wanted see myself in the teaching line or MBA if I see myself in the management role next time..

However, taking MSc (Education) / MBA have never crossed my mind.. and realistically speaking, MSc(Chem Eng) may not be a practical choice if I wanted to stay in the education line. But part of me, wants to take up MSc (Chem Eng) as a fulfillment of personal goal.

If you were me, will you go for personal goal or be realistic?
