I think education is a valuable resource that you'll always possess and never regret obtaining. Education sets you apart and allows you to stand out among other applicants. I discovered that it boosted my confidence and helped me begin my career. If you aim to work for major companies, having an MBA can be very beneficial. Of course, if you want to become a doctor or pursue a similar profession, a master's degree is necessary. This demonstrates your commitment to delving further into the field you're passionate about and wish to pursue.

I work for a large corporate company, and I have learned that getting a masters helps boost your career to higher levels in the company. Think of leadership roles, management, or even a subject matter expert in the field. I’m doing my masters now and one of the other beneficial skills is learning to work with people who aren’t like you or think differently. Exceptional skills require practice and a masters is a great way to learn both the material and life related skills.
