My friend Seiichi has been keenly reading my articles, one which is about the value of pursuing a master's degree. Its original title is: "Why Pursue A Master's Degree" which happens to be rated among the top out of current 32 articles contributed by other writers. It's based on my own experiences, having been able to finish an MBA, and actually started studying for my Master in Industrial Relations degree (prior to my MBA) but I decided not to finish it. My friend Seiichi remarks:
Another great article. However one point to be made is that in many instances a Masters degree may make one "overqualified" for many positions. The high cost of obtaining such a degree may also be a factor against getting one. On the plus... side, a graduate degree may help one to emigrate to another country. It may help in visa requirements. Many US nationals who are emigrating to places such as Japan and China are more able to obtain their visas, and eventually Permanent Residency or Citizenship if they have graduate degrees. Another good thing is that you can always keep the degree "off" your resume should you find that it is hindering your job hunt.There you go! For all those keen on migrating to other countries, please feel free to heed Seiichi's point, as additional value you can attach to your graduate degree (in case you have one or still in process of finishing one). Not everyone can actually earn one (nor everyone would have the desire to ever pursuing one).
