and few years of our life in universities chasing those degree's that often leads to nowhere but it does increase the chances of landing a good job.
Only if you know what you're doing and your majors are somehow good that'll get you to places otherwise that degree won't help you much.
Your Degree is the Escape You're looking for?
When we begin with something it is because we believe that have potential and will take us to places, will help achieve our dreams and that's exactly why there are people pursuing degree's that makes them doctors, scientists and so on
In Asia there's stereotypes like most Asian parents would make children pursue medical cause they want them to become a doctor of any kind
Having that Dr before name is something that people think is respectable and it'll increase their status in the society
While it should be the values and morals taught by parents to kid that should matter but I don't mind parents flexing their son or daughter is now a doctor.
It makes sense cause they've spend a lot of money on that degree
In Asia your parents must be proud of you if you've got the degree so in that case you're set.
When it comes to a Career
This is where you often end up questioning your degree if those years were even worth pursuing it cause there's a lot of cases in our country
Where a graduated person isn't able to land himself a job that'd pay equivalent to his skills in that degree.
It's not easy to find job in today's job market, even the interviewers don't pay much attention and doesn't offer a salary package that'd make sense.
And I've seen graduated people working in fast food flipping fries cause there's no job out there which is quite disappointing.
To be honest this system has failed such people, they've spent a lot on getting that degree but turns out it won't pay off
Far better if you move abroad
This is the only reason young blood doesn't want to live their life in this country because it doesn't give them the opportunities they deserve
So people after getting degrees find their way out into another country
And they do easily get the job in other countries cause you know how other countries hire immigrants and nowadays it's everywhere and the locals living in those countries are pissed cause immigrants from other countries would come and get the job meanwhile they're not getting it even though they live in their own country.
Wrapping Up...
In the end we should all be focusing on getting a degree in the big 2025 cause that's still one of required thing to land yourself a job and to build a career
It makes sense to invest in yourself though even better when you've graduated and now you've left for another country where the salary package is even better and opportunities exist.
Instead of just waiting in your country holding that degree as it won't bring anything good.
You're suppose to work on it and make your own luck sometimes. I'd love to know your thoughts on this in the comments.
