The Masters Trap

[rachel83az]

Not everyone is able to work full time and study even part time. There's no shame in that.

This is true for pretty much every adult beyond college age. Even many college age students have to work and can't attend school full time. Everyone doesn't have supportive parents.

Yup. Or you might have emotionally supportive parents who can't financially support you. It happens.

That's really harsh. You know NOTHING about anyone's life. Just because one earns a degree does not mean that they can find a job in that field where they live. I know many people say to move. Well it's not just that easy to pack up and move and it costs money.

Plus, a lot of people here say "don't go for a 2nd/3rd Bachelor's degree, just go get a Master's degree instead". Where's that money coming from? If money is currently tight because my Bachelor's degree doesn't open up local jobs, how am I going to even begin to think about getting a Master's degree?

You can't have it both ways.
