YBPs: The Advanced Degree Chasers
Kanye can joke all he wants about how our degrees will keep us warm at night, but on the serious tip, an advanced degree can increase your income by $20K. We’ve recently posted on whether having an M.B.A. makes you a better entrepreneur and the arguments were poignant on both sides of the discussion. The truth is, whether you think getting a graduate degree is the best option for you or not, you are making your own personal decision based on your own personal career goals. And for those who want to pursue graduate studies- more power to you because there is nothing wrong with being educated.
A recent article on The Hilltop discussed how studies by the U.S. Department of Education illustrate that black students are more likely than whites to enroll in graduate school. The research indicates that of the students who graduated from four-year colleges in 1993, 45.4% of black students went on to enroll in graduate programs by 2003. The number was compared to whites, who enrolled at a rate of 39.2% during the 10-year time span. To be honest, these numbers don’t impress me and to compare black students and white students just seems irrelevant. Statistics are skewed for numerous reasons and I can think of many off the top of my head to attribute why more white students are not enrolling in graduate school. But the important thing to take away from the article is the high numbers of black students pursuing graduate school.
If you are currently in grad school or plan on enrolling, check out the post I made a while back on Gradportal.org- the only graduate school directory focused on helping under-represented groups find programs and financial aid.
