[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 60506, member: 1572"] Hiya! I think doing a masters is only worth it if it's something you genuinely want to study (especially considering the cost). A masters on its own isn't much of an advantage during the app process or even while training. I'm on my gap year rn before starting my TC and all I'm doing is working part-time for some extra cash (holding out for being able to travel again at the end of the year haha) Honestly I'm making full use of the abundance of free time I have to catch-up on doing things I enjoy that had to take a backseat during university. I know it can seem like you have to keep going (very hard to break out of this mindset after going through the app process I think) and somehow be productive in terms of preparing yourself for a TC, but I'd personally encourage you to take the time out. Everyone knows it's a demanding career and I think in hindsight you'd be grateful for any time off you are able to take before it. Just my two cents! [/QUOTE]
