that is exactly what i did.. completed engineering degree at age 21.
after 1 year, I enrolled in UP for part-time MS Engineering for 5 years (age 27).. by that time meron na akong 6 years work experience..
except that, i dont know about this visa before.. so naglapse na ang 2-year gap from graduation...
hahah...
so my point is.. this is doable.. un lang po.. bow..
