if you have fixed commitment..then better part time..but dont give up

burn wei....dont like that la

Should try to get a job first.

Hi Wilson Low,

If you decide to pursue a Master's Degree because you feel that it gives you a perk of getting a better salary and job opportunity, then the answer is no.

But if you decide to pursue it because you want to know more about your subject matter or because you want to venture into education, by all mean you should.

Before you proceed with a Master's degree, may I suggest you enroll in English classes? It would help a lot in your Master degree (research-based especially)

Totally agreed. Maybe u can secure a job after that

not everyone graduated in their early 20s

that's shallow.

You can negotiate with PTPTN to allow you pay once start working after your Masters. My friend did it and he took PTPTN loan from diploma> Masters

No. I attended Bachelor degree at 25 years old.

no. waste time.

ya lor ..not everyone continue study after diploma or even SPM

If I am in your place, I would find alternatives while waiting for interviews maybe grab or other delivery service

I will also try to do internship first if there is really no opening for permanent roles

Try to avoid adding more commitment as based on your story you have already some loans.

May the force be with you 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

i know one of my frez study till 28 still havent graduate..
rumah kaya so can enjoy uni life.

I heard that can apply to postpone pay back on PTPTN website, right?

WILSON LOW while this may sound like an insult, it is a legitimate advice. You have no idea how much value it adds to you simply being able to speak proper English, simply put if there are two applicants of equal qualifications for the job, I'd go with the one who can carry himself well.

No, bad idea. If you already have a Bachelors degree, getting a Masters degree does not improve your chance at getting a job, nor does it improve your pay. IMHO getting a Masters degree only makes sense if you either want to change field, or you want to pursue Phd and become researcher in your current field.

Always pay off debt first

Enroll in language class is a good option rather than continue study.

I knew that my English was bad. My English level is A2-Elementary only. Need to improve.

My English level was A2-Elementary only. Need to improve.

sign up master for teaching
be a lecturer to some private / public uni

Idk how much of a commitment you have, but if it were me, I'd go for a language class while working part-time and job hunting. Taking Masters at this point seems to be only adding more to your debt (unless you are taking full scholarship)

1. Its never too late to learn new things
2. Try graduate certificate OR upskills certification that will help your "business" degree. This days, you can even learn it Online. ( eg:FutureLearn.com/ Coursera/ Udemy/Open Uni / edX)
3. Please, please Wilson low. If that was your name. DO Attend more proper or NGos like toastmaster club to improve your English. Its Okay to make mistaken, but I hope someday you wont get judged being a HR some by better distinction and capable future employees. Also please drop the "Malaysia-glish" concept.

Which University did you graduated from?

dont go for master if uu got financial probs, uu will just dig deeper

this MCO try own biz while trying to secure a job better

serious talk, see if your masters program is offered in part time. Then try to work while studying for masters. who knows, your conpany may even sponsor part of your course fees?

good luck to you.

Your english ok laa as long people understand.. but in this trying times I don't think obtaining a master's degree will increase your chances of getting a job especially when private sectosr prefer experience more than certificate.

You should really improve your English first

I don't know the current procedure. Last time, my friend went to PTPTN office and sort it out.

Come in expected to troll ts, as ayam suspected is a dupe. Mana tau is 2013, lulz.

Here is ayam punya 2 cents:
-Since u are having financial isues, ayam suggest dun study master 1st. Else u gonna have a hard time paying back the fees, in addition to ur degree fees.
- Better to look for a job first, dun add unnecessary monetary load, unless u can start master without paying much money
- Its good also to improve ur english. Do not need to spend money on this. There are many ways to learn from internet and video like youtube.

Seriously no. If you think getting Master degree will make you more employable & higher salary, you are wrong.

Unless you are pursuing career in higher education or climbing up to senior management level, which you are not, your bachelor degree is enough.

Better to work and taking class to improve skills like English class or specific technical cert.

What have you been doing from 17 to 24??? fapping around??

A master's degree is always better than a degree

Work and study part time

Work hard to earn yourself two degree and two master's degree. Huge difference

People shouldn’t judge people going and graduating uni as a mature student.

English can always be improved. English lessons will not help actually and is a waste of money. Need to practise listening and talking more. Workplace can prepare you for that.

Master degree is a waste of money though for your field of study. I don’t know what can a masters in PR and HR do. Also financial issues like you said does not help the situation.

Master without working exp will increase ur unemployment rate

tepat dan bernas kupasan daripada teddy

Forget masters. Work first.

Nilai University. How was your English level?

If you do defer the payment, please check with PTPTN when will the interest kicks in. Previously, the interest was charged even when the payment was deferred.

i am convinced that tertiary education institutions is a scam. you were made to borrow ptptn before you even know what a loan is, and then spend years to pay back for an education that didn't help you land a job.

a masters degree is a bigger scam. don't do it.

Take certification or competency
Much better than master degree

You have debt you need to pay but want to take masters? Better get job first. Masters degree don't mean much in Malaysia.

Dont waste further money. I doubt by getting an extra master degree cant help you much. Better to use the money to read more books ya...

Like many here, i'd suggest u fix ur englidh 1st. From there, at least ur interview is more secured.

Ouch!!!

Frank speak, study master waste time , waste money only... Unless you have plan to study till PhD, otherwise keep that money to do other things

Master degree only good for engineering/ medicine/ architecture/ law

Let me give you a genuine advice ....

If you do not have any working experience... there i no point for you to get a masters

Masters only would help you when you are on the very top.... where you would need to impress the directors or CEOs



Don't believe those nay sayers that think masters is useless but don't think you can get anywhere if your sole purpose of getting a master is to secure your first job...

If you start your Master, then PTPTN payment can be delayed until you finish your Master.

Impress by /k sebulat suara answer. There you go TS, thank us after 5 years

Oi fucker don't be so fucking bad la, he just wants to get some solid opinion and you're giving this sarcastic comment?

You know what. FUCK YOU.

Why did you take a HR degree and still need to ask if a masters would help in HR matters? Advise us instead.

#pdrm...this guy commit murder

You have grammar mistake.
Which University did you graduate from? Correct
*If you write 'did', graduate no need to add 'ed'.
Which University were you graduated from, this one is correct.

Hi, I am currently working while taking part time master's. Most master's classes are after working hours anyway, and most master's student are working full time to earn an income.

However, you still need to find a job if you can. Have an income while studying on the side.

I also take ptptn to study. But my plan is eventually quit my day job and be a lecturer. It depends on your career pathway.

If you want to do it, just go for it. The ptptn loan is insignificant to your lifetime earnings. What's RM40k at 1% interest if you going to earn a few millions by the time you're retired.

If for sale of salary, don't, don't give up just yet trying to get a job. Just try anything remotely close to your field. I think employers will have a hard time giving you a job to match your qualification but with no experience

But if you feel it's just for self improvement, sure, go ahead.

Try your very best to get a job first. Job that follow your interest as much as you can.
Don't simply plunge into masters without work experience. Thats my take as a master graduate

I think it's better to spend some money on English classes.having said that , some /ktards who advised you to do the same need to read their own posts as well kekkk

Don't give up but you need to juggle between job and studies.

I did mine part time as well. It is tough but it is worth it.

Still since you are stretched financially, my advice is to make ends meet first.

which masters did u study

Wah... Teddy giving some wisdom and advice that makes sense

Quite surprised to see some close minded comments (e.g graduated at 28? why?)... amazing

if you are useless. go further study.

just paid to get you some work to do.

if you are gitted.
you already start your own business.

Online tutor, Content creator, online seller
even Grab food merchant...

But since you ask..
and you already 28!!!!!

yet you dont know how to get things works...

Depending on what kind of Master Degree you are getting. For example, it is beneficial to have a few years of working experience before enrolling in courses like Master in Business Administration & Master in Project Management. Because you will understand the course better and perform better in general with your past working experience.

If you are taking Master just to kill time now I do not think that is a viable options. Try to get some working experience, care less for the pay now because you are a fresh graduate and also the current economic conditions. If you have the options, start from a small company where they hire HR executives, you will learn a lot more in small company than working in huge company.

Please take note that having a master degree does not always guarantee you a job, but it may help you advance in a cooperate ladder. Usually companies would avoid hiring fresh overqualified candidates.

The choice is in your hands, try to think ahead and sketch out your plan for both route and analyze which is a better option.

Don't worry about k/tards that make fun of your English. It is part of the learning process. Keep learning!

find job la.. master can do part time...

i've been working since i was in my last year degree. and then working professionally for 5yrs before took master.

quit within a year.

degree and master is a big leap, make sure you are mentally prepared

I'm wandering what is the additional value of the knowledge gained in a HR masters that would increase employability in that field?
Worse still, a freshie rocking up to an interview waving a masters' degree when your HR manager might not have one (but has more work experience) might decrease his chance of getting hired.

My post above was reported. I guess by TS as he deemed it an insult.
Actually I didn't mean it as an insult. The only insult I see is you degrading & mutilating the English language with zero care for grammar & noun and end up insulting yourself.
