DO NOT GET A MASTER'S DEGREE. HERE'S WHY. | Philippines

[@shygardener3290]

If you are in the academe, yes it is necessary. And you need to take an MS degree that is vertically aligned with your undergrad course if you want your degree to be significant (e.g kung undergrad mo is Biology, dapat ang MS mo is also of the same discipline). And yes, do not enroll for the wrong reasons. Pinag iisipan po ng mabuti ang pag enroll sa post-graduate studies.

[@sachisen6651]

Nakaka-inspire naman ito. Ako, graduate na 'ko and licensed na rin pero later ko lang narealize na dapat pala yung dream course ko na yung tinake ko nung college. Now, magsisimula ulit ako and tbh, excited na ko sa panibagong journey.

Love this Osh! One of the best things I love from Grad School is getting to know you and the Surpeeps! I hope more industries also realize that a title should not hinder anyone to apply for the position as long as they have the appropriate and proven experience.

Thank you Ruth! Same here.

​doctor: a teacher, from Middle English (in the senses “learned person” and “Doctor of the Church”): via Old French, from the Latin “doctor” (“teacher”), from “docere” (“teach”). Throughout the modern world, tertiary education institutions have been given the right to confer Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees by the government of their respective countries. This is a fundamentally-flawed arrangement for the following reasons: As has been proven beyond any semblance of doubt in Chapter 22 of this “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, non-monarchical governments have absolutely no authority whatsoever over the populace of their countries or nations. And even if a nation was ruled by a LEGITIMATE government (that is, a holy and righteous king), it is not within the purview of a national ruler to adjudicate which educational institutions are qualified to confer scholastic awards to its citizens. The role of a national ruler is (above all) to protect the population and to ensure that the law (“dharma”, in Sanskrit) is enforced and promulgated. Furthermore, universities and colleges (especially in the Western world) have been increasingly promoting what is colloquially known as “leftism” (“adharma”, in Sanskrit), as well as bestowing post-graduate degrees upon those who would never have been able to even enter a university in previous centuries (not to mention a certain proportion of abject dunces, simply due to the fact that life in the West is relatively easy, and those dullards are able to spend several years of their lives in study, without needing to work for their livelihoods). Personally, I am extremely glad to not be counted amongst those imbeciles who have garnered a master's degree or a doctorate at a government-endorsed institute of “education”. As the current World Doctor Himself, I have witnessed that the calibre of the typical doctoral candidate is nowadays so appalling, that I would be loath to be the recipient of a PhD degree from any extant so-called “university/college”. Honestly, I would consider it to be a great DISHONOUR! Even the so-called “hard sciences”, such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, and engineering, have become increasingly adulterated by adharma. For example, in Western academia (and by the time you are reading this Scripture, most all the schools of higher-learning in the East too) it is, in practice, impossible for an academic to assert the scientific fact that intelligence has a biological (that is, a genetic) component, and even if one was permitted to posit such a truism, it would be frowned upon to stress the fact that a person’s genome is the predominating factor in determining one’s intellectual capacity (not to mention bringing racial differences into the picture!). See also “philosophy”.

Thanks for sharing your insights. I've been stressed out for the past 4 weeks thinking about taking up MBA while I have a day job. I am scared because I've been working for 14 years now and have not been to school since college. However, I feel like I've been stuck in the corporate environment for too long now. I want to explore more opportunities outside and want to be more equipped with my Management and Leadership skills.

ako Sir kumuha ako ng Master's Degree kasi gusto ko ma experience ang Grad. School, kahit malayo sya sa undergrad ko kinuha ko pa rin sya and thank God natapos ko. hindi ko sya pinagsisisihan kasi 100% scholar ako (Jesuits School) basta mag maintain lang ng grade. ang ayaw ko lang pagdating sa work maraming ingetira pag alam nilang may MA ka ( and yung supervisor mo wala) gusto nila alam mo lahat kasi MA grad ka, then pag may mistake ka lalaitin ka nila and pagtatawanan paano daw ako naka grad ng master's. until now hindi ko nilalagay ang MA sa name ko kasi sasabihin nanaman na mayabang ako. basta ako congrats sa may Master's and Phd bilib ako sa inyo and sa wala ok lang yan you can get knowledge and wisdom through experience.

Sad to say that there are some people around you are making judgment on you because you just take the masters. And they thought that you are a narcissist who love a title on your name. Little did they know that u want only to learn education on your other profession. These people who are judging u, are full of envy and no money to enroll to take the masters.

[@omotv6263]

Very true sabi pa ng isang comment dito pampahaba lang daw ng pangalan kaya kumukuha ng mba at iba pang titles. Di nila alam malaki ang puhunan para maging mba... time management, effort, sacrifices, etc. Mga bitter ang ibang comment. Hindi natatapos ang kagustuhan ntin matuto at ma achieve pa ang maraming bagay.. marami rin advantages ang mba ..

Ok that's your opinion. Well, taking master's degree is a personal choice, isn't it!? I think taking master's degree is not only about title, it is by knowing and learning more things in a certain field in a proper way. But I am still curious what can I learn more in university taking master's degree in English, what program and what school.

[@richmondsaraos3648]

I'm taking my second Master's, MBA first 2022 and MScITHM in PUP currently 2023, and I can agree to this one but to add more point, Grad School is a personal journey with yourself. It's you and you alone late ang gratification :) But remember having a master's is having a master. Madami kang madedescover. But warning, you should have equipped with the right mentality first before entering in GS. Maraming mangengeeleam sa desisyon mo pero, you and you alone lang makakaalam kung ano ang dapat. Kaya enroll monayan! Yes, it's for fun HAHA

Marami akong co-teachers na merong master's degree at PhD, mga tamad magturo. Puro part time lang sila. Tapos kapag magbigay sila ng grades e pare-pareho lang lahat ng students. Nagbibigay lang ng grades every last quarter. Kaya kung ang grades nya sa 4th quarter ay 92, 92 din sila lahat sa 3rd quarter. Konti lang mag discuss at puro quizzes. Ang nagko compute ng grades ay class presidents. I've only taken 12 Units of MA Educ Management. Inabutan ako ng lockdowns dahil sa pandemic. That's P11k of my money wasted to nothing.

I am currently taking professional science masters in data science sa TIP. Im a slow learner kaya I decided to take it kesa mag online course like what coursera offered. I think, worth it to sa mga kagaya kong slow learner na hindi rin naman talaga passion ito pero piniling aralin for future jobs, goals, and experties. Di ako mayaman, kaya isa yan sa mga nakakaapekto talaga pero iniisip ko na lang na investment ito. Pero as a Libra, nagdadalawang isip pa rin ako if I need to finish this or mag coursera na lang ako kasi nga sobrang magastos mag masters :( Recommended bang mag-take na lang ng Google Certificates related to business intelligence and data science? Ang hirap! Pero ang alam ko bored lang talaga ako kaya ako nag-masters. Haha joke! Help me. Thansk!

[@osheanlee]

My advice always is that if pag nasimulan na, tapusin na. Kasi sayang. Or kung kaya mo pagsabayin yung master's mo + Google Certificates, better since the knowledge that these 2 impose can complement with each other. i.e. kung ano natutunan mo sa Google Cert Courses, ma-aapply mo sa master's mo and vice versa.

[@joshguzman]

@@osheanlee thanks sir sa reply. Actually, more of a data engineering pala yung gusto ko sabihin. I think, sakop ng lahat ang data science while ang data engineer, focus sa data cleaning and data gathering? weakness ko talaga mag interpret kesa magprovide na lang ng iinterpret nila. Yun din ang reason kaya parang nagdadalawang isip rin po ako tapusin tong masteral. Like, do i need to focus na lang ba sa data engineering? Ang problem, part ito ng data science kaya yun ang tinake ko, if courses naman, parang google/ibm cert ang pinakamalapit na way? Kaso dami kong nakikitang parang sayang sa pera lang raw ang ang mga certificates na ito. Ang hirap maging mahirap, ayaw ko lang talaga magtapon ng pera. Haha

[@osheanlee]

@@joshguzman I don't think hindi naman sayang ang pera sa mga certificates, especially sa Google. Siguro to dispel na lang the misconception -- yes Data Science encompasses everything. Even Data Engineering. Data Science exists already even before. It just became a buzzword when people started processing terabytes of data already, and that traditional/conventional processing does not work anymore sa sobrang laki ng data; hence the term big data.
