Yeah, I learned my lesson after completing my master's.

It's all a scam based on pre-existing connections with the right socio-economic circles. I won't be here to see it, but hopefully the next iteration of human society will be less regressive.

Is master's degree common in the West?

Bachelor's degree is much more common where I'm from. After that people are usually keen to get a job and start earning.

It's becoming far more common, yes. I'm not really sure what all of these people are doing with master's degrees nowadays. But at least in the US, a master's degree seems to be the new bachelor's degree. Higher education is all a racket.

Granted, I do say this as someone with a master's degree. My master's degree actually was incredibly useful to me though and not something pointless like underwater basket weaving. Mine helped me make a healthy wage (at the expense of student loan debt, but it all works out).

What’s wrong with underwater basket weaving?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Nothing as a hobby. Good luck making a good amount money off of it though.
