Were young people getting grad degrees in the 90’s like today?

These days people go for their Masters at like 22, 23, 24..........

Anyone remember it being like this in the 90s? In the early 2000s I remember recognizing a surge of post-graduates.............But in the 90s you were big time for just going to college.

Because you could get a good job with a high school diploma or bachelor's degree back then.

Much easier to get degrees now. Online schools be begging to enroll you

Interestingly enough there’s only been a five point increase since 2000.

8.6 vs 13.1 You would think it would be more.

The idea used to be that grad school students were in their late 20s-early 30s.......

Was going to say that, still know many young people, middle age and old that don’t have masters or graduate degrees. They stopped at bachelors and just kept accumulating work experience which honestly seems to matter more these days—having a degree used to be enough.

But now employers want specific skills, specific experience, that comes from work experience. employers aren’t as willing to train as they used too. I caution new undergrads from going straight to grad school if they haven’t developed specific skills and work experience applicable in their field, to stand out. Law school and medical programs are different of course.
And only 33.4 percent of Americans have bachelors degree, so for the most part still more people that haven’t completed college than those that have, let alone those who’ve went to grad school.
