My friend is getting a masters so his narcissistic father doesn’t see him as below him anymore. I don’t think the master will change that but a man can hope ig.

Better to go straight to PhD. You will never regret it.

Is it worth it? (In europe) My business teacher made it clear that in his opinion, when he worked in a company he’d be much more likely to hire those with a master’s degree, but the extra time seems like a lot

Hey OP, what is your major?

Funny to see this today. I literally did my last undergraduate assignment on Friday. Commencement is Saturday. It took me 6 years part-time at 45. I’m starting grad school in the fall. It remains to be seen if it helps me from a career standpoint as I was very successful without a degree. However, what I’ve learned in classes helps me all the time. I think that’s important too.

I gave that exact same look all my savings and free time. Now I just have a fancy piece of paper that watches me cry over my timesheets.

For me it was the opposite. Especially the final year of my bachelors degree was just terrible and I wanted nothing to do with university anymore.

I am friends with multiple people who are having trouble finding full-time work despite their advanced degrees. I am acquainted with even more folks in the same situation.
The job market is a dumpster fire right now, and as a result expensive degrees are not as useful as they once were.

Hopefully its in something pragmatic and useful so its worth your time

I thought about a Masters. Then I realized it just qualified me for way too much responsibility and life consuming positions.

To me it looks like education loan forbearance lol.

Isnt a masters degree kinda harming your xhancesnof employment nowadays because no one wants anyone with higher salary expectations and no job experience (assuming thisnis the case). It seems like a master only becomes relevant after having job experience as a bachelor e.g. when they are about to promote you.

I started as a freelance lecturer about 3 years ago. I literally teach one module a week in advance fingerpainting (prop and model making). I am currently doing a Masters degree in Teaching & Learning in Creative Arts. Its such an over-qualification but I was offered it for free, so I thought, sod it.
I literally had my first lecture in my Masters degree in teaching before I conducted my first lecture AS a teacher. Im arse-backwards.
