Where's Chiwetel Ejiofor? This list ain't complete without him.

Most of us were told that in order to get ahead in life we needed to go to college and get a degree. But you've done that. So why do you need a master's degree? It's true that for many jobs and fields, a BA or BS will suffice..at least at first. But the job market is increasingly specialized, and many graduates find that it's difficult to enter or progress in the job market without an advanced degree. Here are five reasons you should consider post-graduate studies.

1. MAs are the New Bachelors

Thirty years ago, a bachelor's degree in most subjects was the ticket to a job where you could gain experience and progress to higher levels of expertise. In fact, in the past job seekers with graduate-level degrees may have been considered overqualified, but things have changed. It's not exactly a bad thing, but with increased college enrollment over the last few decades, the market has been flooded with skilled and qualified undergraduates. Now, employers are looking to hire graduates with advanced degrees, and while there are still plenty of positions that will accept bachelor's degrees, some of the most desirable positions are going to recent grads with masters-level qualifications. A Masters will help you to stand out from the crowd and will show prospective employers that you have advanced skills and subject-expertise.

2. They Can Be Required

While many sectors favor post-graduate degrees, there are several fields in which a master's-level degree is required. Obviously, education for doctors and lawyers goes far beyond that of a normal bachelor's degree, but if you're considering a career in therapy, library or museum sciences, economics, architecture, or various medical professions, you'll find that an advanced degree isn't optional. Speech and language therapists in the US need a graduate degree and accreditation. In the UK, 'architect' is a protected title and in order to practice students must complete five years of study as well as work experience. In the US, a growing doctor shortage means that there are more jobs for Physician's Assistants (PAs) but you'll need to earn a master's degree from an accredited program first. While it may seem demanding, these positions require advanced training, specialization, and dedicated professionals, all of which can be developed through post-graduate study.

3. They Can Lead You Further

Some people decide to pursue a masters-level degree because they thrived in university studies and aren't ready to enter the 'real-world.' While this isn't a great reason to earn a master's, if you have a knack for academia and are considering a career as a professor or researcher, then a master's degree is a fantastic idea. Most PhD programs require candidates to have completed an MA or MS in a related subject, and a master's program will give you the opportunity to find out if focused research and academic life are right for you. Remember that master's studies are very different from undergraduate degrees. Students are often more independent and research-focused, and the course-work requires in-depth knowledge and original ideas. Master's studies are harder and more stressful, but they're often more exciting because you can focus on subjects that interest you.

4. They Help You Specialize

In fact, one of the biggest benefits of master's-level studies is that you have the chance to focus your knowledge and hone your skills. This can be a huge benefit in the job market because industries and employers are often looking for highly-specialized candidates. It's one of the reasons that Master's of Professional Studies degrees (MPS) are in demand, but traditional MS and MA degrees are also attractive to prospective employees in a variety of fields. While some students enter into post-graduate studies directly from undergraduate degrees, many established professionals enroll in master's programs in order to advance their careers or develop new skills. Lawyers often acquire advanced degrees (on top of their law degree) in order to focus on specific legal sectors, while MBAs are a sure-fire way to achieve success in the business world, especially if you focus on much-needed skills like technology.

5. You'll Earn More

Money shouldn't be the only reason that you choose to pursue a master's degree, but it might be one of them. In some sectors, employees with master's degrees earn up to 20% more than their counterparts with bachelor's degrees, and women with degrees have a smaller pay-gap than those without. And while graduates are, in general, less likely to be unemployed, those with post-graduate degrees have even greater rates of employment. But while some post-graduates have the potential to earn more after they finish their degree, it's important to remember that graduate school isn't always free. Though some graduate-level programs offer tuition waivers, stipends, and even subsidized housing and health insurance, a master's can take between one and three years to complete. And though it's not impossible to work while studying, it can be difficult. So consider carefully before enrolling. A master's degree in engineering will give you excellent credentials and improve your marketability.

Bathing has now become something wrapped in digital technology as seen in the pictures shared by Paul Okoye of Psquare. This is one of the goodies associated with being a celebrity at the top of your game. Taking your bath while switching channels to see an interesting program on a TV fixed in a bubbly hot tub is a life only meant for those that have made it already. You can only copy this kind of lifestyle if your music video has the highest views on Youtube for an African. Did i forget to mention that he was even sipping a-no-doubt expensive wine? Never mind, just see the pictures below. Hold on o…why is there no big bootie chick in there with him?

So going on a date means leading on abi? If you still say NO, the same guy will say she's claiming hard to get. I am glad he learnt his lesson the hard way tho.

Bumbae1:

Good point

Wait till coven members remember and send you friend request...then and only then will you know what to believe or keep quiet. Where did she come from then? Strolling on the street abi?

Akshow:
So what do we call this? Illiteracy? Ignorance? Mental illness? Mental slavery? Brainwashing? Or Over religiosity? . Cos honestly this is embarrassing. How can people believe in 2017, that humans can turn into cat?

A few hrs ago, similar news made front page about a woman turning to bird.. .. Duuh? I blame religious institutions that use "enemies and witches in ur family" lies to rob their gullible sheep. This is really disheartening. See the way they abused and battered up an old woman. may all of them never find peace. Useless brainwashed momfos

Please what kind of house does she want? A mansion Before anyone takes a loan, proper budget is usually made inclusive of furnishing and other stuffs. So I wonder why she of all people who is a banker doesn't know this. As a woman that I am, I will tell you that she is only after what you have.
How will a woman who loves a man abandon him even after his effort to see her? Reading your story, it is obvious this relationship is one-sided and could be unhealthy in the long-run.
DO NOT GIVE HER THE MONEY. She should learn how to plan properly.

enshi:


She is a banker who Recently got transfered to a differnt state and puts up with a friends family... According to her, the family is becoming hostile therefore reason she wishes to find an accommodation..
But I told her to hang on a little longer...

Instead she applied for loan from her branch and was granted but the money aint still enough

Student Tips

Regret is a part of life. Unfortunately, it’s also a part of the post-college experience for many grads looking back on their college years. The good news? By learning about some of the most common regrets expressed by former college students now, you can take proactive steps to avoid ending up with the same laments. To that end, we’re counting down five top regrets experienced by college grads.


1. Not taking enough stimulating classes
It’s easy to lose track of the big picture in college. After all, you’re finally out on your own with near-endless ways to spend your time. It’s hardly a surprise that you’re inclined to take less-than-challenging classes to leave more time for everything from sleeping in to partying. Unfortunately, this is a short-sighted outlook with potentially long-term consequences.

Choosing a class because of its reputation as a “gut” or because it’s offered in the afternoon as opposed to in the morning may seem like the an easy thing to do, but is it the best thing to do? Instead, keep your eye on the prize -- your own bright future! -- by choosing classes because they are of interest to you and/or because they’re connected to your future career.

Think of it this way: After graduation, you’ll never regret having to get up at 8AM to make it to your 9AM class your sophomore year of college, but you will regret being eliminated from consideration for a job because you don’t have the right academic credentials.

2. Not traveling abroad.
You might think college life is demanding, but as soon as you graduate and get a job, your life gets a whole lot more crowded with responsibilities. In college, however, there are not only plentiful study abroad opportunities, but they are designed to seamlessly integrate within a semester or academic year.

From personal enrichment to second language fluency to the global perspective sought after by today’s employers, international study has many rewards. And there’s no better time to start cashing in on them than during college.

3. Poor money management
College students aren’t exactly known for their financial prudence. Between late-night beer and hangouts to easy access to credit, the temptation to spend - particularly for students who’ve until now been financially dependent on their parents -- is strong. But cavalier spending in college can lead to dire outcomes. In fact, a staggering 77 percent of college grads under the age of 40 regret failing to adequately plan.

While students can take steps to minimize their spending by budgeting during their college days, applying for scholarships, and only borrowing when absolutely necessary, another group of people can play an equally if not more important in preparing students for the realities of debt: Parents. Open discussions about the cost of college and how families plan to pay for it can help ensure that students fully understand the implications of carrying student loan debt.

4. Opting out of internships
If you’re like many students, you may already feel stretched thin by your course load. However, when it comes to landing the job of your dreams, it may take more than a great class schedule. With employers increasingly prioritizing real-world skills, internships have not only become differentiating factors on a resume, but can also be an invaluable networking tool. Your university career office to learn more about available jobs and summer internships. Some may require your services just a few hours a week while yielding exponential payoffs.

Need more proof to hop on the internship train? According to research from the New York Federal Reserve, candidates with work experience in their industries were 14 percent more likely to get interviews than their non-working counterparts. The research further concluded that work experience outweighed everything from grades to majors when it came to landing jobs.

5. Skipping opportunities for social involvement
Committing to your coursework doesn’t mean forgoing all other aspects of life. In fact, a well-rounded experience may not only be the key to enjoying your college years, but can also help lay the groundwork for a more fulfilling life after college, too. For many people, the friends they make during college become their closest friends for life. For others who don’t put themselves out there, however, lack of friendships turn into lifelong regret.

The truth is that college is one of the easiest times in life to form meaningful bonds. Why? Because you’re all in the same boat!

If, however, you struggle with making friends one-on-one or just haven’t found your tribe yet, joining a student club or intramural sports team can help you meet and connect with like minded people.

Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” We can think of no better scenario to which this quote applies than the college years. The overall takeaway? Stop worrying about what you might not do, and get out there and start doing!

dickrider:
The igbos hatred for Buhari is second to none. How will a sane person give a dog a whole president and commander in chief's name? This is the after effect of the negative messages Nnamdi kanu preached on his useless radio. He taught most of them to disrespect the president all because of their useless biafra agitations. I suggest this man be locked up and the keys thrown into the Atlantic Ocean. This will serve as a lesson to other unpatriotic IPOB yoots who found mentorship in Nnamdi kanu. How will the Igbo's feel if one names a goat Ojukwu? Biafra will never come

Morning prayers by 4:30 ( I so hated this)

God knows the heart...pay your brother's fees as your tithe. Its not like its a habit and you aint going to squander it so there is no fuss. If only we can use the tithes to start up a biz for one less privileged every month no matter how little,poverty could be curbed.

Otth:
Okay, this is a challenge I need a solution to. My parents are saying no money no money when it is obvious that they have. My little brother is home because he has outstanding fees so I was wondering if I should give him my tithe to pay part while I pay the tithe next month when I get my next salary, I don't know what to do.

Mods please move it to fp, I need urgent solution to this.
