According to a new
survey released by Educational Directories Unlimited, Inc., career
advancement ranked ahead of personal gratification, better paying
jobs and field of study requirements when searching for graduate
schools.
The survey polled
users of EDU's Gradschools.com throughout March 2001, which, with
listings for 95 percent of all US-based graduate study programs,
is one of the Web's most visited and comprehensive directories
of graduate programs.
Nearly 48 percent
of all survey respondents reported career advancement as the reason
for continuing their education beyond undergraduate studies, far
outpacing the second-leading reason of personal gratification
(19 percent). The other two most popular explanations for attending
graduate school were because their fields of study required an
advanced degree, while approximately 11 percent said they hope
the degree translates into a better-paying job.
At the same time,
the survey shows that a surprising number of middle-aged professionals
are online searching for graduate degree programs. Twenty four
percent of respondents were between the ages of 36 and 50 (24.4
percent), while the commonly assumed age for graduate school matriculation
-- the 23 to 28 demographic -- finished a mere 5% higher (29.1
percent).
"Graduate school
has quickly become the preferred avenue for career advancement,"
says Mark Shay, president and founder of EDU. "That desire to
break through the glass ceilings and move up in corporate hierarchy
is leading many middle-aged [professionals] to turn to the Internet
in an effort to quickly find those programs that can best accelerate
and optimize their career opportunities."
