The article discusses the benefits and rewards of a graduate education. Prior to 1988 new hire needs were about 85 percent baccalaureate degrees and 15 percent advanced degrees. Since 2000, it was noted that there has been a shift to favor advanced degrees holders. Thus, in today's work place about 60 percent of new hires are bachelor degree holders and 40 percent advanced degree holders.
