Grad school benefits weighed
By Lori Ctepper
Grad school is it worth the extra one
to seven years of school it takes to get a
higher degree?
"It all depends on what field a
student is going in to," James Drew,
dean of the graduate college, said.
"Here in the office we try to be honest
with the students. If the job market
doesn't look good in that field, we tell
them what their chances are."
The total enrollment of 3,135 for
graduate school this year is slightly
above last year's enrollment, but there
is a definite shift away from academic
oriented classes to practioner courses,
according to the graduate office.
"There are two main reasons a
student goes to grad school," Drew
said. "One is to receive an education,
and the other to prepare for a vocation.
The market is up for practioner jobs:
doctors, lawyers, dentists, things like
that. And that's what students want to
get into."
"If I was just in it for the money, I
wouldn't go to grad school," said Ken
Evans, UNL grad student. "But I want a
good job, and I know that going to grad
school can guarantee a better job than
my four year degree."
Evans is a student in the clinical
psychology department. Only ten new
students out of 500 applicants were
accepted into the school this year,
according to Dr. James Cole, director of
clinical psychology.
He said clinical psychology receives
more applications than the law and
medical departments combined.
"I always preface any application
form I hand out with a warning about
the job market," said Lawrence Poston,
chairman of the English graduate school
committee. ".The market for any
academic job in the English department
4ooks bad now, ! tell the studenU.thatiU
is,their..oyvp p'ectsjop,,but that, they lag
better be sure this further education will
best suit their needs out there in the
world."
The English department has an
average of about 100 students who apply
for grad school. The accept 9-12, Poston
said. -
"The work is not hard for these grad
students," he remarked. "It's just a
different type of studying and more of it.
We're really trying to get away from the
'slave labor' type of situation, where
students are just loaded down with
work."
The history department is another
that faces a bad job market.
"We've got a dismal situation here,"
said Edward Homze, director of gradu
ate training in history. "To be honest,
the job market for academic history
it
im mm max mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm msm mm mm mm mm mj
iERoacD WainttAcDsi
fmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm em cm m mm mm mm mm mm mm mm turn mm
students is practically nil. A student can
spend six or seven years and face the
prospect of no job when he gets out.' '
The history department usually ac
cepts about 15 students out of the 60 or
70 who apply for a position.
"The bulk of people who major in
history want to go into teaching,"
Homze said. "But with the job market
the way it is, they're using thier degrees
to go into something like law or business
management."
"Some fields do look bad now," Drew
agreed. "But nobody can ever predict
what the market will be. Four years ago,
the market for engineers looked terrible.
Now, with the energy crisis, the job
market has never been better."
Cole said grad school is worth it
simply because undergraduate study
doesn't really prepare people for work.
"Students go to school for four years
and they've got a good liberal arts
education, but they haven't got any
specialized training," he said. "The
good jobs are going to people that have
gone to grad school."
" The Law College is booming, accord
ing.to Donald Shaneyfelt, assistant dean
of admissions for the law department.
"We haven't had any trouble placing
our graduate students in good posi-'
t:ons."
The law department receives between
1.000 and 1,100 applicants a year. The
school accepts 160-175.
"The good thing about doing gradu
ate work in law," said Shaneyfelt, "is
that it is an excellent background for
whatever field you do decide to go into.
Students use a law background to go
into business, corporate executive work
or even to go into business tor
themselves."
"Most of the jobs today are aimed
toward someone with a master's de
qree." Cole said. "You can get jobs
vXi'f I four year degree, but you'll
probably end up settling for less,"
Poston said there may still be a
problem of students being overqualified
for the jobs they may get once out of
graduate school
"I think it is true that some employers
tend to think that people who have
Ph. D's have been in school too long,"
he said. "Employers think that these
people will never be content till they are
running the business and will run off the
minute they see a chance at a better job.
That isn't always the case."
"We tend to be blamed for the
national economy," Drew said.
"Schools are blamed because we are
over-teaching our students. We aren't
teaching them any more than we were
ten years ago. But now the economy
says we don't need it anymore."
