I was hoping someone who has some personal experience with this can chime in and possibly lead me towards the right direction.
I have a background in Mech and I've been looking into a MS in Systems Engineering recently. From what I've read, it sounds like its something I want, as it seems like dealing with the bigger picture in terms of a whole engineering project. Additionally, it is becoming a very sought after degree in the defense industry in the up coming decade. Another reason is that I'd like to live in the DC area.
I did some job listing searchings for system engineering jobs in my company, and it appears that nearly 95% of them seem to be an extension of CS degrees and in the IT field, and very few that that accepted just a Systems Engineering degree.
With that said, i'm kind of wondering if I'm just not doing a good job finding the right Systems Engineering jobs, or if it is what it is and I'm just looking in the wrong area.
