Hey everyone,
So another
week has come to an end. This week I
learned about the usefulness of RSS readers.
They are definitely convenient for all of the blogs that we read. In this post I will specifically be talking
about a post I came across through the blog College Bender. The post was titled Why a Graduate Certificate Might Be a Better Be Than a Master’s Degree.
(link to the post http://www.collegeblender.com/graduate-certificate/)
I read this article because as my
undergrad years come to an end I have to start thinking about my future and I
was definitely considering going to get my MBA after I completed my BBA. After
reading this I am now wondering if getting a Masters would be beneficial for me
or if I should just go into the work force and get my CPA. I know that there
are many one year certificate programs available and I can always complete them
later in life. This article has opened
my eyes to the different paths that I can take.
While
reading news articles on how the entering the work field has become more
competitive many places have said that having a masters is considered the new
undergrad degree. Whereas before it was undergrad degrees were more valued than
high school diplomas. People these days
are continuing to educate themselves for a better future as times are
changing.
As the
article mentions completing a certificate is less costly than a master’s
degree, and that to me is going to be a major deciding point. School is expensive and deciding to continue
on with higher education and adding more debt to get a chance of a higher
paying job versus getting an introductory job and working your way up the company
ladder are decisions that need to be made.
I feel that
technology has opened many more doors for everyone on helping make decisions. This post has given me more information to
take into consideration and when it’s time for me to make my choice of
furthering my education or getting a job I can make an informed one.
Have a
great day!
Aarti
