Do you need a master's degree for the head of the IT department?

Question

Java

The other day I spoke with a bachelor's graduate who went to a master's program, explaining this by the fact that you can't get a managerial position without a master's degree.
Everything is clear with programmers, even without a tower, but with brains you can get a job. But if you go further and grow up to the head of the unit? Judging by the SuperJob study, there is the most juice in terms of salary.
Your opinion and advice will be interesting. I have a bachelor's year left, now I decide whether to go for a master's degree or not.

Answer 1

Magistracy is a research stage of education. After it, you need to go to graduate school or research institutes in a good way. In Russia, an unhealthy analogy has formed between a master's degree and the former Soviet 5-year engineering education. In fact, she doesn't exist. To be absolutely precise, some universities also draw such an analogy in the old fashioned way and try in these two years to give out those disciplines that were left out of the "bachelor's degree", but in serious universities there has been an understanding of the specifics of the master's program for a long time, and if you do not plan to continue to study science, going there is not really a good choice. Just for those who see themselves as a middle manager, after 4 years of higher education a "fork of choice" has been made and you must go further to improve not along the scientific, but along the managerial path.

While he is studying, he is a student and he cannot become anyone, and after graduation no one will give him a leadership position if he does not cope with this, then study for at least 100 years
