Question by Lucas Einstein: What encourages students to take graduate education?
I want to get a Master’s degree someday or even a doctorate’s degree, but I thought only a few students would want to have graduate education. But I found out that there are a lot graduate students nowadays, and I heard that this figure is expected to rise, so what encourages students to take gradutate courses?

They don’t want to leave campus life and graduate alumni make more money, on average.

If you want to teach, then you won’t be doing much of it with only a Bachelor’s Degree.

More money, and the inability to grow up, so they stay perpetual students.

I wonder this a lot. A lot of my undergrad friends are practicing engineers who make 5x what I do right now as a Ph.D. student. In engineering. . . nope, that part of the figure’s not really rising, at least not as far as the domestic population is concerned. So, get 50k now or rent out your soul for a few years in return for not much of a pay increase if you’re not now overqualified for the jobs. . . .
I think, in other fields where the pay isn’t so good with just a BS/BA, it’s more about being able to find a job when you graduate. Your odds are probably a lot better and you will probably make more with an advanced degree or two. Oh, and you get to put off the real world for a few more years of the college life.
