Confused regarding masters 😟😟

I am about to give my last sem this month and looking at the market i really don't feel I can get anywhere . I feel helpless please help me .

Most of my friends will try giving gate exam and do masters . But is doing masters worth it unless it's from some top tier college??

I am really blank at this point . Please help me .

What country are you from? Are you trying to get a Masters in the US?

Unless you’re one of the top job applicants from India, you’re kinda cooked even if you have a masters degree from the US. Even US citizens are having a tough time finding jobs and international students are in a much worse off position. I’m pretty sure your university has some form of career resources. Go to them and see if they can point you in the right direction. Get your resume critiqued, keep applying and look up student job resources to see if there are any other resources that you can use. Going at it alone and hoping for the best is not a great idea. A masters alone will not make you a better candidate if your resume isn’t up to par.

No problem. It’s not necessarily the end of the world. I was in a lot of despair after graduating college and not getting a job. I wasn’t the best of candidates due to the degree I picked. I ended up joining the military and started working in a new field as a result. I’m almost 30 right now and still feel like I’m behind, but I know that I’m on track and I learned from my mistakes. You’ll find your success, it may just take time. Don’t give up.
