Being an effective software engineer

People always ask me, why do you want to go to graduate school?

I found the answer(it describes my goal very well...)

The paper - Current State of Software Engineering Master's Degree Programs In the United States

Here is a paragraph which is similar to mine.

“Yes, I believe [a software engineering degree] is more effective at the Master's level. I believe that being an effective software engineer requires several things including:

• A solid undergraduate program covering the fundamentals of computer science and/or computer engineering.
• Significant amounts of experience in doing commercial software engineering.
• Considerable depth and breadth in topics that are best learned after one has had the abovementioned experience (because the experience gives you a much deeper appreciation of why the topics are important). Furthermore, this degree of depth and breadth cannot becovered in an undergraduate program unless it shortchanges the students in their fundamentals.
• Continuing education as the field matures and evolves throughout one's career.
