Thinking About A Career in Robotics? (PhD vs Master's vs Bachelor's)
🧐 Do you really need a PhD to work in Robotics or Computer Science? What about a Master's degree? In this video, I break down the differences between getting a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD for a career in robotics and what you can expect to do with the different degree options. We'll cover what a PhD program actually involves, who might NOT enjoy doing a PhD, and one strategy for launching a career in robotics without going to grad school. I also share my personal journey trying to break into robotics software and my thoughts on when a Master's degree might be the better choice.
