So what job is that going to land you that you couldn't have got without it?

Other than teaching I want to know what that is.

Surely you don't think only teaching could require a master's?
I would add that I think in his particular case, that degree sounds like one of those ones that helps you stand out from those with just the experience. It will probably fall into that "master's preferred" section of most job requirements. Last edited by mr. tegu; 06-05-2014 at 02:30 PM.. |

It's a simple question. Why did he get his masters in that area and how is he going to use it? I am not sure why it is becoming anything more than that.

The most successful people I know don't have masters but there are a lot of people that have masters that work for them.

No, your question was "what job will you get that you couldn't have gotten without it?" Completely different than how is he going to use the degree which could range from personal growth to professional goals. Obviously in the job market, he will look for jobs that require or prefer a master's degree.

I have two: an MA in Philosophy, and an MS in Library Science
[quote'Are you currently or recently worked in the field that pertained to your field of study?[/quote] Yes, I'm actually working in a job where I'm using both degrees (I was hired as a librarian, and was asked to teach an ethics class once the Dean found out I had a MA in Philosophy Quote:

Also, in most gov't jobs, education is a substitute for experience, so at worst, I've incurred a little extra debt while making myself eligible for better paying jobs. |

Education for the sake of education is lame. IF you don't know where you are going and how you are going to use it you are a far less attractive candidate to me, masters be damned. There is nothing worse than a graduate shotgunning.

I flamed out of grad school a semester short of my masters, and never even tried to go back and finish it. I think that's one of the bigger (defining) failures/mistakes of my life. Even though I don't and would never work in anything at all related to the programs in which I got my undergrad or worked on my masters (see: hamas' comments about higher education).
