Love is the battery of life....

Hi,


Yes and no......  It all depends on the situation (demand and supply) at the time you graduate.....  A degree doesn't promise it will be easier to find a job.....  When I graduated as an engineer I received dozen interesting offers..... when I finished my Ph.D. I had to struggle to get 1 offer.....
Best regards,

It depends on your profession; in some a graduate degree is a step forward such as in an academic career. In others, experience is seen as a more valuable asset. If you are happy in your present job and there is opportunity for advancement, ask your boss if he/she would approve your going back to school. Your company might encourage you by participating in your tuition and giving you some time off for studies. I have found that everything you can learn can be valuable. Good luck!

Definetely yes. ten years from now,when you will apply for a position, and other candidates will have a degree, and you won;t, then their chances will be much better.

A degree also gives you a broader view and understanding of many subjects and provides you with tools to learn more things by yourself.
