Is a masters degree almost necessary these days?

<p>^^^^. That is by FAR and away the number one reason why people are in grad school. Yes, there are several reasons why people need to go for GS. The only ones I think are absolutely needed-psychology, biology, chemistry,med school. An MBA is only really beneficial if you have 3-5 years of professional work experience. You need it in order to really understand the classes. I dont like to say anything is worthless but those are the only ones that are needed to be good at your field per se</p>
