How are masters degree graded?
It is necessary to do an MA for some subjects and for others is academic. Puruneparkcollege has hit the nail on the head. Only do the MA if there is a sound reason to do it like your subject is oversubscribed or you need to do it. You may also want to have an MA to be at the top of the pile when applications are being considered. The down side to an MA is that employers need employees to either have experience or vocational training in their specific field. The degree alone doesn’t qualify you to do anything in business. It may be better to apply for a vocational course specific to the area you want to work in. When an employer sees an MA degree they can thinking one of a two ways. Candidate may be expensive and they won’t have the experience to warrant a high starting salary. They may be perceived as too highly qualified for the position. Only do the MA if you intend to do the PhD and this is part of a well thought out career plan.
