Why do people think a Master's degree is a job ticket? And why do people think it is a Universities job to "place" you after you graduate?

Once you get an education, figure out what you want to do and/or what you're good at and cultivate marketable skills in that regard. For actually getting career type job, the answer is very rarely in a Master program (outside of a few select fields like Medicine/law).

I know I personally wouldn't invest in a Master's degree in a field simply to get a job. There are far simpler ways to do the same thing (and cheaper).
