According to studies, people with Masters degree earn 25% more than their equal
bachelor graduates. Having a masters degree will greatly help you in looking for a better
job that offers a higher salary than your previous one. Lets say that youre currently
earning $5,000 monthly, and if you work now having your masters degree, your salary
will probably be around $6,500 per month. What a significant increase, right?
Pursuing a Masters Degree will not be that easy. You will still experience a lot of ups and
downs on your exams and thesis. But surely, it will definitely give you an environment
where you can develop your skills and learn things that you lack. It will also serve as
your new training ground where you can broaden your perspective in your field and be
career-wise. For some, there are two options. Either you take thesis or non-thesis.
Its guaranteed that after you graduate, your CV will boost and youll probably land a
secured job. Everything will be worth it and youll feel more confident. Also, you can
earn money while studying by teaching part time at the university of your choice. You
just have to fix your schedule so therell be no overlapping. Since Masters Studies is a
preparation to a Doctoral Level, you now have the choice of leveling up and finish
Doctor of Philosophy.
After you finish all of these, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment and you'll be proud of
yourself. It's always worth the hard work.
2. Work For Your Dream Company
In different fields, there'll be always that one "Grand Company". It's like a big dream for
employees to work in that company. You know that it is not that easy to be accepted in a

yourself.

2. Will I be eligible to apply?
"Check your CV and judge for yourself. Also, learn how to dress properly to become
more professional"
3.Can I handle the stress and the new environment?

wise in handling money. Saving money is a sense of preventing a financial crisis in the
future.It will prevent you from financial problems like debt or stress in paying your bills.
