With a sluggish economy and overall challenging job market, many are considering getting themselves better qualification to advance their careers. However,\u00a0is an advanced degree worth the investment of time and money?<\/p>\n

In today’s competitive job market, it’s no longer acceptable to rest\u00a0on our laurels and work a 9-to-5 job till retirement. We are bombarded with news of multinational companies laying off staff almost on a monthly basis. The same thing could easily happen to us.<\/p>\n

Especially with more undergraduates flooding the market, it’s definitely time to look for ways to give yourself a competitive edge to climb up your career ladder. This may be the only investment that will be worth your money, as it is not subject to the same risks as other financial investments.<\/p>\n

The New York Times even went as far as to say that the Master’s is the new Bachelor’s. Whether it’s because the good positions in a great company require higher qualification, or the competition among the degree holders is getting stiffer — a Master’s degree may just be the thing that you are missing to elevate in your career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
