2 of 13

Telemarketers are people - just not very nice people. How do I know? Because I used to repeatedly interrupt people's dinners for a living and I absolutely hated it.

Education > Graduate Studies Deciding whether a master's degree is right for you

2 of 4

The short answer is probably not. In taking any big decision about your future, it's useful to examine the potential costs and benefits. The biggest cost of a masters is time. Taking 1-2 years out of your life is a huge commitment and you should consider the in-job career advancement you would forgo by choosing to do it. Man... More..
