Generally, I equat master degree with overeducated...

The entire education system needs to be changed drastically. We need more tech schools to handle those who do not go to college. College needs to train people to step into a job and be ready to produce immediately. The idea of BA BS Masters PHD need to reflect the immediate need of the job market than it currently does. To go with this is the need to revise the courses taught and there value regarding the degree earned.I was required to take another language for my degree but I have never used it and it was just a waste of time.

Totally dependent on field. If it is science or technology, it should be useful, though not always much more than a Bachelor's.

I think the reason to get the Master's is to study what you are intrigued with.

A friend of mine enlisted in the Navy - he had a Masters in Archeology. If you're blending that degree with relevant experience, your career should be pretty safe, but to expect a good career because you have the degree alone is likely to set yourself up for disappointment, as there's a good chance that it'll be perceived as putting the cart before the horse.

It depends on what her degree is in...she could have a Masters in Fine Arts, and with limited job opportunities. Even with a Masters in Business, companies are looking for specific concentrations such as international business, computer science, economics, or accounting...everything seems to be be tuned in to specifics and not generalization. Some fields are just saturated...marketing...she might need to get a different concentration or change how she markets her skills to the job needs until she finds her perfect job. I have an MBA and when I first came out, I worked in social services....
