Everyone knows that the American and world economy is not in great shape just now. For college graduates of the class of 2009 the job market will probably look pretty bleak. Here are three good reasons why you might want to return to college and earn that masters degree.

1.) With only your undergraduate degree you can not get a job. Not even a lousy job. Attending college was much more fun than hanging around your parents house all day and all night. Especially when all they say to you these days is "get a job you lazy freeloader. What a waste it was to pay for your college education. And now all you do is eat, eat, eat, and sleep,sleep, sleep. "

2.) In the long run having a masters degree will likely help you to earn a lot more money. That is if you can get a job in this lousy economy.

3.) You can improve your mind and better prepare yourself to work for a big stupid corporation. Besides, you have nothing better to do. You don't have a job and no job means no money and no respect.

If the economy is still rotten after you earn your masters degree than why bang your head up against a wall? Just stay in school and go for that PhD. Maybe you should consider becoming a student in Sweden where you can attend college for as long as you like and the government will pay for it. "The Swedish Institute grants hundreds of scholarships every year to help foreign students make their stay in Sweden more affordable. Currently, tuition fees for everyone are fully subsidized by the state."

Masters degree anyone?
