Faculty or degree As we can see from the picture, one graduated student submitted his job application and got the employer’s answer that ” sorry, kid… Your resume looks good but you only have a master’s degree… All the other applications are PH.D.S! The ideal of this picture is clear, degree is very important, even if one’s faculty is better. In now this competitive society, some people without high educational degree would argue that faculty is first things that employers should focus on. As far as I am concerned, I have the opponent views which degree is the primary important element to applications and employers. This is because degree is the most direct certification of applications’ learning extent, it not only implies their capacity of knowledge but also represent the future competence of theirs. This why degree often becomes the first topic when we talking about how to get a job, and this is why employers would focus on your degree firstly, then ask your faculty to decide whether your are better.
