The idea of pursuing a master's may have crossed your mind in your early career stage and if you have been considering it, I hope this post helps you alil:) I just started my first sem so I'm also figuring things out here as I go as well!!
Here are some of my reasons for pursuing:
🎖️Self Fulfillment/Personal Growth
- I always believe in investing in yourself and staying competitive.
- I have a strong passion and urge to return to school to expand my thinking.
- Sense of achievement!!
- I personally just believe in higher education :)
- A mini restart to life (leaving your old life that you built, leaving your comfort zone)
- Independence as you figure the visa to housing.
💼 Build local networks, leveraging school career services
- Going abroad to do your masters gives you the leverage to build local networks and be immersed in the culture.
- My school is known to have a really strong alumni/network and responsive career service. I took advantage of it by attending as many career events and sessions.
- Possibility for internship/in-school positions
✨New Environment/Culture
- I got to experience American culture (tailgating, football games, bonfire etc)
- Learn how to "small talk"
- Made many friends from different states, every one is super diverse!
- Change in the environment was much needed after being in Singapore for my whole life. (saw this as a mini break from working 9-7pm)
- Living abroad for a period of time isn't the same as doing a semester exchange (you are just there to have fun vs intentionally working hard to eventually find a job locally)
📖Broaden your knowledge/future opportunities
- Learning new things everyday, US politics/context
- Improve articulating your thoughts and participation in class
- Leveraging the master's to career switch
- Doing a master's guarantees you a 1 year OPT and if it's a STEM designated degree, you can apply for an extension of two more years. This means you have a higher chance to work abroad via a master's vs job search online
- Truth is in certain fields... majority of your competitors have a master's..it's better to stay competitive than to be on an uneven playing field. Don't get me wrong! work experience is equally valuable however there are people out there with both 😭
I have been going back and forth with my decision for the last few years and eventually decided to just apply and see how it goes! I was only aiming for the top tier schools hence my ultimatum was to only enter a good school or not go at all. I was kiasu🤣 Applications to US universities are highly competitive so start early if you do intend to go! My process took me almost a year👀
It's not about whether it's right or not but the experience that matters 🤍
lmk if i should share more!!
