Abstract
Acquiring a postgraduate degree has become increasingly popular in today’s culture. Many factors generate interest in this career path, including the general perception of achieving higher income along with government support and encouragement offered through various types of financial assistance, support-of-study leave to pursue a graduate degree, and higher social status, just to mention a few. As a consequence, enrollment in graduate programs has increased over the past few years.
