Posted byUnigo Staff May 29, 2015

By Shayla

getting a master's degree Are you thinking about pursuing more education after college? Well, great for you! Master’s degrees will give you in-depth knowledge about your chosen field and could possibly help you earn more money in the workforce. A graduate degree provides you with an opportunity to intensely study your undergraduate degree or even pursue the study of any other field. You should expect to read and write more papers, participate in class discussions, and analyze others’ opinions.

Similar to your peers, you may have a few questions: Is graduate school really worth the trouble? Will earning a Master’s degree make a difference in my career? What are the advantages of obtaining a Master’s degree? Let’s explore the benefits of earning your advanced degree.

1. Compensation By possessing a Master’s degree, you are more likely to be hired for management positions. These positions require you to perform more duties and be responsible for more tasks. Therefore, your compensation including benefits may increase due to higher employer expectations.

2. Professorship A graduate degree will require you to learn and research your field of study thoroughly. You will be considered an expert in your course of study once you begin publishing scholarly papers and speaking on workshop panels. Your new found knowledge qualifies you to teach others. If you enjoy instructing others, you may decide to become a professor at a nearby community college or university.

3. Credibility With proficiency in an academic course, you can boost your credibility in your personal and professional life. You may be asked to be an expert witness in a court case, a judge in a local essay competition, or even be a keynote speaker at a national conference. Will you be pursuing a Master’s degree? If so, why or why not? Let us know your thoughts.
