Is it after you've finished the thesis can be free from the turmoil of life? The answer is: no. Once free of the dilemma of a graduate student you still have to have the option of living that would be devastating for your future: S-2 further study or work?

Dilema Seorang Sarjana


Some say, immediately wrote up school because the brain is still fresh. But there also are advised to immediately descend into the world of work and looking for the experience as much as possible. Confused not that? This time Hipwee will describe the advantages and disadvantages of each option.
Almost everyone who had graduated from college only to be relieved on his graduation day. It was all the struggle paid off in the celebrations. But the next day the question began to appear in the head.
"I can pass ya. It's been unable title. Continue to be doing?"
Usually new scholars will be familiar with the various job fairs and recruitment page. Of the student's life comfortable, suddenly you are a new graduate will be faced with new status as unemployed and job seekers.

According Recruitment Beast, a recruitment company from the Philippines, there are at least three dilemmas faced by students who have just graduated from college:
  • Your dream job requires a minimum of 2 years work experience. Can the experience of which try, you've only graduated from college!
  • Competition for new graduates is very tight. The number of jobs is not worth the labor force who pass each year.
  • Salary offered is far below expectations.

It made a lot of new graduates swerved to take further education at Masters level.
Before discussing the advantages and disadvantages of work or continue their education after graduation S-2, let's see what is offered by advanced education at Masters level. Unlike the graduate level education to students who scored understand and apply the knowledge produced by others, the S-2 is required to be one of the producers of knowledge.

In early education, the S-2 will be exposed to a variety of classes that should be taken. Learning activities in class discussions will be dominated activity, rather than listening to lectures from professors. As a graduate student you are actively doing the learning independently. At 1-2 last semester, graduate student activity will be more focused on research activities. More in-depth knowledge of the field of study are you involved with will not come out of the class, but directly in the field of activity. You will have the opportunity to work together in completing a research lecturer. Graduate students also have opportunities to intern at various organizations.

Broadly speaking, at Masters level education is to prepare a person to gain knowledge and professional experience through the process of researching and learning is done independently. Steve Icampo, manager of Worldwide Staffing at Amphenol Corporation, in an interview stated that the Postgraduate education will not necessarily guarantee the success of a person.
"You should not assume that education will get you to where you want to go; What will get you there is you". (Never had the assumption that education will take you achieve your dream. That makes you able to reach it is your own).
Before someone decides to continue their education to Master's level, according Icampo, it helps the person has prior work experience. Work experience coupled with education will make someone more expert in the field who practiced.

In the same interview, Icampo remind the prospective job seekers who intend to continue their education at the graduate level to continue to ask themselves, and still equip themselves with work experience:
"Think about what you want to do after graduation. You must be able to prove to the market competition of job seekers that you have a surplus required by the company.
You would never know that you can sell to you if you do not really look for it. And sometimes, the only way to search for and find it is to work".
Another opinion came from Hannes Vedin, senior HR consultant for Capgemini Company of Sweden. According to him, there are fundamental differences in expertise graduate courses and Postgraduate programs.
"Most graduates of the Master is more mature in dealing with the dynamics in the world of work. They are also more flexible to translate their knowledge into a real action.
Has a Master's degree is beneficial, but the company is also interested in getting people with a strong passion. When there are people with ambition and passion that according to the company, the spirit of which he had the equivalent of a Master's degree who perhaps have not got".
From the above it can be concluded practitioners opinion that although the Postgraduate education can bring benefits in the process of achieving the dream career, but he is not everything. Technical expertise and passion that the fittest will be determine your success.

Committed graduate education would need extra effort. Not only financial commitment, you also need to strengthen ourselves for the onslaught that is certainly more challenging task than the tasks you face at undergraduate level.

Before immersing in the battleground graduate student, trying to convince yourself first: "Do you really want to learn more?" The decision to pursue further education course's brilliant, as long as the reason is not this:
  1. You just want to avoid their responsibility to be financially independent
  2. You want to get rid of the competition is very tight job search
  3. Graduate school just an escape to get out of a boring job
  4. School again only be a means to realize the dream of living abroad (you can save money and traveling alone, without having to invest time and thought for many years)
  5. You do not know what to do with your life, so make the decision to go back to school

If the 5 reasons above are the driving desire to continue education, then you should think again deh. Instead of wasting time to run away from the problem with the S-2, there are many other more really elegant way to deal with it.

Who says people who just graduated from college did not have a chance to be able to work? Although almost all vacancies requiring already have work experience remained there really a way to outsmart:
  • Sign up to the position of Management Trainee (MT), in this position you will receive training directly from the company to put up a candidate for the manager.
  • Do not immediately broke when there are vacancies that require work experience. If you can believe it, the list only. The Company will continue to consider applicants who are passionate.
  • Make sure that you are a private company that is ready to train. Although you do not have work experience, but the desire to practice could be your strength.
  • Know your capabilities and assets you have. Do not forget to take advantage of all the connections that have been established so far.
  • Find out the salaries in the field of work you seek. It is important that you are not surprised and had a rational consideration when negotiating a salary.
  • View career opportunities at work. Although initially a small salary, does not mean your career will not develop right?

    So how ya think? Better direct employment, or further S-2 first after graduating college? All the options have drawbacks and advantages of each. Finally, all decisions back to your hand. Good luck!
    For those of you who are in a state of dilemma, I suggest look for a job for the experience. Jobs in the much sought after is the Sales markeing. Why? The answer please you refer to in Sales Marketing Adalah KarierKu.
    "Learning at a time when little like carve in stone, like the adult learning after work upon the water. When playing the guitar wearing kedongdong roots. If you want to learn first smart."
