Do you believe Masters degree is synonymous to sucess in careers?

I don't rally agree if we say that Master degree is synonymous to success in careers. In reality, there are much people who are success, really success, even without any degree behind their names. BUT if you mention about job prospects, then I will agree with the statement 'Master degree makes you be considered', rather than those whose degree is lower. It depends on how you do your degree. If you maximilize the use of it, then believe me that you will gain success in your life. Success is not always about degree... =)

Being able to graduate in Masters degree implies that you are quite familiar with the theories of a certain profession that is why you are more likely to be successful in your job. But it is not a requirement for someone to be successful, there are those who are quite good not because of educational degree but because of their experiences throughout the time they practice their profession.

Hi I don't think so. Now a days only having Gradution is simillar to 12th pass. So Now a days it is essential to hold Masters. No doubt the experience is worth but not always. Masters has it's own priorities. Regards Viki

From the long run,it's help.the higher the degree is the more you learnt and know. in the same position, masters are more competitive than the bachelors. masters have more chance to promote themselves. however, masters degree is not everything, they should work diligently to get thier boss's admition adn recognition.

I don't think so. My uncle have doctorate degree and now he is a sales. I don't say sales is bad or what, but with his degree, sales is not a good job. Nowadays many people have high degrees and some of them buy degree. The situation in job not the same with situation in college. We need experience and creativity at work. Yes, if you get real degree of course you've learnt about many things deeply, but sometimes the owner of the company believe old person/people who has wr=ork for that company for a long time or their relatives. So, the higher degree, the higher opportunity to get better job, but it's not a synoym and nothing guaranteed success in job. It all depends on our own performance

No! I don't believe that master's degree equals success in careers. I know someone who have a master's degree but end up jobless. It's because she is not hardworking and was very shy and no personality. I think having a strong personality, wise and being a smart worker equals successful career. I even know someone who haven't into college, but is successful because of hard work and talent.

As far as the job market in the States is concerned, yes, I definitely think a Master's degree is important. Bachelor's are a dime a dozen, not like they were twenty years ago. Twenty years ago, if you went to college you were the first to get picked for jobs and you got preferential treatment when you got to the job. Now, nine out of every ten people applying for a position has a Bachelor's degree in something or the other so going to college doesn't give you the advantage it used to. Now it's Master's degrees that are giving people advantages in their job searches. But in some career fields like nursing and teaching, everyone you come up against has a Master's so it's becoming more important for those people to work toward a Doctorate. But in some cases, like mine, a Master's degree is terminal, which means that no school in the country offers a Doctorate in Creative Writing, yet. I could get a Doctorate in English or in Literature and put that towards teaching Creative Writing but I cannot get a Doctorate in Creative Writing.

I don't think it's always necessary. Sometimes it helps, but isn't always necessary. I know plenty of "successful" people who only have 4-year bachelors degrees! I think it depends on the job, though.
