Do You Need a Master's or PhD Degree? 🎓 Graduate School Advice

Do you really need a graduate degree? In this video we break down why you do and why you don't. Let us know what you think!

I like that you mention the 'why' I feel like many people do graduate degrees just because it feels nice to add Dr. to their name. As an international student, I feel like we are the biggest culprits of this. Smart ladies! So proud of your channel Ann :)

Watching from Portsmouth UK. Well done Young Lady. You’re living it up. Congrats on husband, house, PhD 👏🏾😋

Naija QUEENS! So proud of you both! I cant wait for this channel to blow up! Also, I love Chichi, please have her on here more often.

Oh Chi Chi is too modest.... nice video, good subject. People screw themselves getting post graduate degrees, sometimes.

[wumipeters]

This is so so helpful.... I didn't even know we needed a "why". A reason for masters or PhD. Thank you very much for this

Thank you Prof Ann for this educative and entertaining video

Someone shared a screenshot of your twitter handle on his page, and I searched for it, which eventually landed me on your YouTube channel. The thing you wrote was about how comparison can lead to depression. Well, I was in that phase, and now, after spending more than 2hours watching various videos on your channel, I want to say a VERY BIG THANK YOU FOR THE LIGHT YOU SHARE. Keep the good work because you are definitely touching lives out here🙏❤

Thank you Ann and Chichi. I think this actually summarizes everything. really appreciate the good jobs you are doing outside there.

As an engineer with both a bachelor's and master's degree in engineering, it depends. I've worked with tons of engineers without even a bachelor's degree but they are the best in their field. But I've also worked with people with bachelor's and master's degrees. The degree does give you a foundation but every company is different and you pretty much go back to training again. Like Chi chi said, you need to look past school and what jobs are out there that you want.

I also resonate with teaching courses that I have some personal connection to. I feel better equipped to deliver the information and offer a unique perspective.

My reason for choosing a Masters is to change my field. I did Industrial Chemistry in my Undergrad and I plan to do Chemical Engineering in Grad School.
I've always had passion for Engineering and I would be looking to get a job after my Masters. I'm not sure I want to do a Ph.D jare.

After 21 years in the US military, and 21 years in a civilian job (all in same career field), I am now "retired-retired" and considering pursuing a professional doctorate (DBA). However, my pursuit is not for any job related reason, but more of a personal challenge for self-satisfaction… and to help keep my brain active and engaged — which is important at my age (66). I have the free-time, and the means, and initially considered a 2nd Masters, but would either really be worth pursuing?

[kamunalessons]

Dear Prof. Thank you for providing content for us. Please can you share a sample of a good statement of purpose

Great video thinking of getting my masters this just solidified it

[olufemiagbato]

I've got a legit question guys 🖐🏽. When most people talk about "Masters" degrees it's usually implied as a follow up to a particular field of study like an Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Accounting etc not so much Business. MBAs are essentially a Masters in Business (To state the obvious). But in conversations I've had I feel most people see an MBA as arbitrary and not really a "Masters" to a field of study, unless of course your field of study is in Business or Finance. Does an MBA require the same considerations you guys want people to take before they make the investment in a "Masters" degree?
