Hi
@Lite98,
I am Millie, a final year Business and Marketing student. Similarly to yourself, I am concerned about my job prospects given the current situation and the lack of available jobs in a field that I am interested in. I have considered a masters however, I think it is more likely that I will continue to try within the current job market.
My reasoning behind this is:
1) It would be a large commitment for me financially (as the loan would not cover course and accommodation)
2) Would I be doing one because I wanted to or because I felt I had to? (If I am not wholly interested in it, I may not put in the level of effort I usually would which may harm my scores)
3) Will this extra commitment increase my employability a substanial amount? (skills learnt etc).
I do however have friends who have decided to undertake a masters for next year, their reasoning is:
1) A great opportunity to learn something new and enhance their skills to be able to apply for more diversified roles
2) Not necessarily having to rent accommodation if the university employs online learning methods (potentially reducing costs).
I hope this helps and provides you with some insight!
Take care,
Millie- Student Representative
