Master's degree or work immediately, which is better? ⁉️

Believe that in the post-graduate years, a small number of graduates will feel confused and have questions in mind about what to do with a good life. Should study for a master's degree or should work with experience first, because both options have different advantages.

Today, it brings together the advantages of each approach to make it easier for new graduates to make decisions, but in the end, both options are not right and wrong, depending on what needs and decisions each person has.

📚 the Bachelor's Graduation Team. Continue to study. Don't wait. 🎓

1️⃣ There is a lot of energy for learning: youth and energy are among the most important factors in studying. Although studying is not limited in age, if you start working, have a salary, have a home, or have a family, the responsibility of life may prevent us from being fully committed to studying. Therefore, after undergraduate school, many people are strong, ready to study, report, and focus on teaching without worrying about many duties and burdens.

2️⃣ Better set goals in life: Most students start studying undergraduate at a young age. Knowing what they like or have goals may not be easy. Therefore, a faculty or field that chooses to study as a child may not be really interested in many people. Master's is another option that allows us to study things that match our preferences and habits so we can better be motivated and targeted for the future.

3️⃣ Be fully open to new things: Many studies have revealed that the younger we are, the smarter we become. The older we grow, the more difficult and disturbing it is. Therefore, studying a master's degree at a young age and not having any experience can make us understand the content and what the teacher is going to convey quickly and quickly. Because if we resume our education at a young age and through work, we may stick to our own experiences and not be open to new knowledge. Regardless of the age you decide to study, everyone should always adjust their mind and be open to new things.

4️⃣ Increase your career prospects: Continuing education may increase your chances of applying for a job that requires a master's degree and may increase your long-term career stability. Moreover, in some professions, someone with a master's degree may expect a higher salary than having a bachelor's degree alone.

😎 team, please work to find experience first

1️⃣ Learn from real experience: The best advantage of working first and then going to a master's degree is that we have real work experience that is not available from the classroom. Importantly, when working for a long time, we understand the paths and things we want more clearly. Moreover, the world of work allows us to see the world and see things from many perspectives. These experiences can be useful in the classroom because they help us connect and learn issues faster than others.

2️⃣ have skills that want to build clearly: People who work first know what they are good at and what they lack, and then choose to pursue a master's degree in the field that will help Upskill in their career the most. It's a thoughtful, clear plan and a better chance of success.

3️⃣ Increase the likelihood of changing the line of work: After a bachelor's degree, people who work will be clear in what they want. For those who like to pursue a career, they may choose to study to increase the skills for their own job. But if the job is not already done, we can choose to study for a master's degree in a program that matches the program, and then use these knowledge to change the line of work we want to pursue.

4️⃣ have time to save money for scholarships: Another important factor to keep in mind is the tuition and expenses during the master's degree. Although many universities offer scholarships to students, not everyone will receive these scholarships. Therefore, those who work first have time to collect money and set up before they decide to go back to school, because if there is a funding that covers tuition, living expenses and a small amount of reserves, we can continue to study comfortably without disturbing the cost of the home.

So 👍🏻, whether you go to college or work immediately, there is no right or wrong, depending on the needs and availability of each person, choose the right and best way for yourself. 🥰

... Read moreถ้าคุณกำลังถามตัวเองว่า “เรียนต่อหรือทำงาน” แปลว่าคุณอยู่ในจุดที่ต้องตัดสินใจเรื่องใหญ่ของชีวิตเลยค่ะ เราเคยลังเลเหมือนกัน เพราะทั้ง 2 ทางมีข้อดีคนละแบบ และไม่มีคำตอบเดียวที่ถูกสำหรับทุกคน สิ่งที่ช่วยได้มากคือ “ทำให้คำถามชัดขึ้น” จากเดิมที่ถามว่าอะไรดีกว่า ให้เปลี่ยนเป็น “แบบไหนเหมาะกับเราตอนนี้ที่สุด” เช็กลิสต์ตัดสินใจแบบเร็ว (ลองให้คะแนน 1-5) 1) เป้าหมายงานชัดแค่ไหน: ถ้ารู้แล้วว่าอยากทำสายไหน และสายงานนั้นต้องใช้วุฒิ ป.โท/ใบประกอบ/งานวิจัย การเรียนต่ออาจเป็นทางลัดที่คุ้มกว่า 2) อยากได้ “ประสบการณ์จริง” แค่ไหน: ถ้ายังไม่รู้ว่าชอบอะไร การออกไปทำงานช่วยให้เห็นโลกการทำงานจริง เรียนรู้เร็วจากหน้างาน และค่อยกลับมาเรียนต่อแบบมีทิศทาง 3) ความพร้อมเรื่องเงิน: ค่าเทอม+ค่าครองชีพคือเรื่องจริง ถ้ายังไม่พร้อม การทำงานเก็บเงินก่อนจะเรียนต่อได้สบายใจขึ้น (และบางที่มีสวัสดิการช่วยค่าเรียนด้วย) 4) พลังใจ/แรงฮึดในการเรียน: บางคนจบป.ตรีแล้วยัง “ติดโหมดเรียน” อยู่ มีวินัยอ่านหนังสือ ทำรายงานเข้าที่ การเรียนต่อทันทีอาจไปได้สวย 5) ต้องการเปลี่ยนสายงานไหม: ถ้าอยากเปลี่ยนสาย การทำงานก่อนจะช่วยยืนยันว่าไม่ชอบอะไร ส่วนการเรียนต่อจะช่วยเติมสกิล/ใบวุฒิเพื่อย้ายสายได้ไวขึ้น ทางเลือกกลางๆ ที่หลายคนมองข้าม - ทำงานก่อน 1-2 ปีแล้วค่อยเรียน: ได้ทั้งประสบการณ์และความชัดเจนว่าควรเรียนสาขาไหน - เรียน ป.โท ภาคค่ำ/เสาร์-อาทิตย์: เหมาะกับคนอยากได้เงินเดือนด้วยและอัปวุฒิด้วย (แต่อย่าลืมประเมินเวลาพัก) - เริ่มจากคอร์สสั้น/ใบรับรองก่อน: ถ้ายังไม่มั่นใจว่าจะเรียนยาว 2 ปีดีไหม ลองคอร์สที่ต่อยอดงานได้ก่อน แล้วค่อยตัดสินใจเรียนเต็มรูปแบบ คำถามที่ควรถามตัวเองก่อนเลือก - ถ้าเลือก “ทำงานทันที” เราจะเรียนรู้อะไรใน 6 เดือนแรกให้ชัด (ทักษะ/ผลงาน/พอร์ต) - ถ้าเลือก “เรียนต่อป.โท” เราจะใช้วุฒินี้ไปสมัครงานตำแหน่งไหน และคาดหวังเงินเดือน/โอกาสเพิ่มขึ้นแค่ไหน - เราอยากได้อะไรที่สุดตอนนี้: วุฒิ, ประสบการณ์, เงิน, คอนเนกชัน, หรือเวลาค้นหาตัวเอง สุดท้ายไม่ว่าจะเลือกเรียนต่อป.โทหรือทำงานทันที ให้ยึด 3 อย่างนี้ไว้: ความพร้อม (เวลา/เงิน/ใจ), เป้าหมายอาชีพ, และแผนสำรองค่ะ เพราะเลือกให้ “เหมาะกับเรา” สำคัญกว่าการเลือกให้ “เหมือนคนอื่น”

Bachelors? Masters? Or maybe BOTH? 🎓

My degree vs my job 😩
Recently I’ve been thinking so much about this so I wanted to share and see if anyone else relates to this. I did a graphic design 4.5 years degree, at the moment i thought maybe there would be good opportunities in this area and it was going to be relatively easy to get a job that pays for a de
