Master Degree?? is it worth it?
My answer:
Not worth it..but for my personal satisfaction and achievement, worth it. This answer is not for people who've been sponsored by a university to further their studies to be a lecturer (well they already got the job so no fuss). My studies sponsored by a combination of 3: myself, my dad & MOHE. Some of my friends have express their interest to further studies before so i guess maybe some peeps out there might have the same question too & have difficult time to decide..so (again) this is what i think from my own experience. Before that i wanna tell u my story..the reason why i further my studies is because i don't get any job other than a job as a temporary teacher (good salary with no future no guarantee unless if u really wanna be a school teacher - mind u controlling 13-17 years old students is very difficult plus i was assign to teach some (most) class which consist of studs that have discipline problems). Half day work good salary etc etc..nah..it is a very tough job..i went back home still feeling stressful..that's the prize. Ok get back to the subject..and another reason why i further my studies is because i wanna get my freedom back. I won't elaborate on tht anyway..haha! I'm more than a half-way through my studies when i start to realize i might have made a mistake. The time that i'm about to do my thesis is the time when i realize about it.. I have difficult time finishing my thesis and getting out-of -focus and waste a lot of my time doing something else...and money wasted.
So my advice is Further ur studies only when u r really interested in it..if u r not sure..u better don't. A Master Degree won't really help u to get a job..matter of fact i was unemployed for a few months and work as a sales girl (life is difficult) before i was landed a job..and another..all using my degree..here in my place they r not looking at my master so of course no ''master salary''. but a master degree is good for people who live near to big big company that give u big big salary. A master degree will not be a guarantee for u to be a lecturer either bcos i know a lot of people who didn't get this job..except if u wanna be a lecturer in small or medium or known-unknown private college which is hmm. if u wanna get a Phd which of course via a master degree, then i encourage u to further ur studies..very few people have Phd so ur chance to be a star out there is very bright (most probably). But before u do..prepare urself mentally first because it will consume a lot of ur time, ur energy & ur money.
Noted with much consideration! Nice article tough for people out there to consider much possibilities before further studies. Master is not a ticket to land a good job. I agree with that. Go sher! A good opportunity will come to you. try harder!
