I was planing to continue my Master degree in next year. I have been thinking for this for quite a number of years. Do I really need this? Due to my passion of learning, and I don't want to waste my time on those self research study, I have make a decision to go for Master degree.

Basically I am not trying to compare which is the best, but I just want to know what I will gain from the programmes. According to an article I have read in the pass few weeks, there are 3 reason for you to go for this degree.

1. Bachelor degree are everywhere, you may want to get a higher degree in order to compete with them.
2. Your parents want you to complete this degree.
3. That was your interest. You really have strong interest in studying that particular course.

I had chosen number 3 without thinking anything because I enjoy in learning, explore and research.
