Most of people agree that master’s degree take a big part for some people to gain employment. But, that does not mean post-graduate degree so golden ticket when looking for work.

We can use England for example, not all graduate degree holders in that country have a good fortune. Even so, the Directorate General of Higher Education record that high unemployment does not deter scholars to apply more higher education to make their life easier.

According to Higher Education Careers Service Unit Data, about 353,500 people enrolled in the graduate program in academic year 2009/2010 (United Kingdom). Scholar in Master degree recorded an increase of 7.3 percent and the number of doctoral degree increased by one percent.

Currently, the main focus of scholars who have taken advanced degree is is to get hired as soon as possible. Employers do like the holder of a master’s degree, but only if the master is able to show their abilities.

Carl Gilleard, Chief Executive of The Association of Graduate recruiters in the United Kingdom said, “If a postgraduate qualification is taken with good reason, and its graduates are able to explain their advantages to potential providers it works, then a master’s degree may be more value in one’s curriculum vitae.” It is quoted from the website of The Guardian, Monday (07/03/2011).

If we seriously want to invest our time and money in graduate studies, make sure that we take this decision based on a variety of supporting information. If you’re motivated by love for their studies and interest in the field of study will you take, that’s good. But, there is no guarantee if you take further study as a step to get a job.

You should choose a postgraduate course of study at college to hold on to their career goals, whether becoming an academic or work in one particular industry sector. You should choose the most specific program with that goal. Also, select courses that have been experienced.

Senior lecturer at Bangor University, James Intriligator, suggests you should be committed to working hard on postgraduate study whatever you choose. At least 75 percent of graduators studies directly related to how big business. Therefore, one must be ready to accomplish everything on one’s own, for example by creating study groups, reading various literature, and is committed to such a study that has been chosen.

If you’re not ready with the responsibility for learning on your shoulder, and not interested in the topic you choose, do not waste your time and money.
