When considering grad school, two common concerns are affordability and the outcomes of a program. Can I afford it? And will it improve my career or future prospects? Investing money in graduate school can be a significant financial commitment, but it can also be a wise decision that pays off in the long run. Here are four reasons why you should consider investing in grad school:
1. Higher Earning Potential
One of the most significant benefits of earning an advanced degree is increased earning potential. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, individuals with a master’s degree make approximately 19% more than those with only a bachelor’s degree.
2. Career Advancement
Graduate school allows you to specialize in a particular field and gain expertise that can set you apart from other job applicants. This can lead to more job opportunities and career advancement.
3. Networking Opportunities
