1-3 all bullshit reasons. The rest are okay reasons in my opinion. As a masters degree holder myself, the year i spent in school was just fun a year if you get what i mean. My advise is that your youthful days are the most important days of your life. Just like for every building, the period used in building the foundation is the most important period. Work on yourself and find yourself. Know what you want and focus on it. The earlier you find yourself the better. Look at the best footballers, the top 10% of them started from a very young age (6-12). Spending 1-2 years of your life doing masters with the hope for better job prospects is another form of procrastination. Unless you want to become a lecturer or a consultant. Just work on becoming very valuable to the economy. On the last note, focus on finding yourself and offer value. A year is enough for finding yourself talk less of two. Thank you.
