Proponents of graduate study
Northeast Normal University: Given the poor labor market, a great majority of new college graduates choose to go on and get a master’s degree. For some, this is not a bad option. According to the Census Bureau data, young adults with master’s degrees earn about ¥19,908 more than those with just bachelor’s degrees a year.
Wang Lin, senior student of law in Fudan University: I’d like to pursue a graduate degree because I love my major and want to learn more about it. And graduate school can provide me the opportunity to fully immerse myself in my subject of interest. Furthermore, a graduate degree is necessary for the field of law if I aim at increasing my options and professional prospects. The new skills and knowledge I gain from graduate education will offer me more opportunities for advancement in my career.
Li Lei, white collar: Graduate school is worth attending. I’d like to pursue graduate study to supplement my skill. Besides the degree, grad school can be a good place to network with professionals from a range of fields. I can take full advantage of the opportunity to learn from the professors, as well as classmates and peers. The education and connections from grad school are sure to open doors for me in the future.
Opponents of graduate study
Li Mei, student of Shandong University: Graduate education requires a significant investment of your financial and personal resources. It is no secret that graduate school is a costly investment. The cost of a master’s degree depends on the type of school you attend and the major you are in. According to the 2012 national statistics, the average tuition for a graduate student in China is ¥22,100. Getting a master’s degree can leave some students mired in debt when they begin their careers. Some fields, such as programming, value learning on the job and the quality of your work over how much education you have. The years you spend in grad school might be better spent racking up experience.
Feng Jia, counselor of Shandong University: For those who are trying to avoid the job hunt, earning a master degree might not be a wise option. This is because when they complete grad school, they will find themselves in the same position again. Employers place a great deal of weight on experience, not just education. In fact, working, even in a less than ideal position, within or outside of your field of interest, will provide learning and growth opportunities, and help you define your career interests.

Is Graduate School a Good Investment? Nowadays, people have different opinions on the hot topic about whether graduate school is a good investment or not as the number of graduate applicants has reached a record high. Some claim that graduate degree is a good investment, with which they could further their knowledge in a particular field and possibly boost their earning potential. What’s more, they can expand their social network as well as outlook in graduate school. But, as with other types of investments, there are also risks involved. With the steep and rising cost of higher education, an advanced degree won’t make financial sense for everyone. And in some cases a master’s degree may not be required and sets back career opportunities where experience is valued. Finally, graduate school won’t serve as a permanent harbor. The fear of going out into the workforce has to be overcome somehow eventually. As far as I am concerned, every coin has two sides. On the one hand, how useful is a master’s degree to people depends on their chosen fields, the school they might attend, the tuition fee, and even how much they can earn after graduation. And for some specific fields such as law and medicine, it is better for college students to pursue a master’s degree to advance their career. At the same time, students should have a realistic view of graduate school and dedicate as much of their attention, energy, and time as possible to earning the degree, and make the most of the grad school experience. On the other hand, a master’s degree is not the only option for professional development. Many institutions offer continuing education or certificate programs to meet the specific needs of working professionals who wish to supplement or complement their skills in an affordable and flexible manner. From what has been mentioned above, we can conclude that when it comes to attending a graduate school or not, every student should consider his own condition instead of just following suit. It’s true that making the decision to go to graduate school is no easy task and should be taken seriously.
