Hey all, I've been thinking a lot about life after undergrad lately. Do any of you know what percentage of Americans have a master's degree? Thanks!
Hello! It's quite common for people to consider their options after completing their undergraduate education. As of the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 13.1% of Americans aged 25 and older hold a master's degree. Keep in mind that this figure can fluctuate over time and may vary slightly depending on the source. Nonetheless, it illustrates that pursuing a master's degree is a common choice for many, but it's important to weigh the costs and benefits of pursuing an advanced degree in your specific field. Good luck with your decision-making process!
