Siddharth Chandra, a director at Asian Studies Center, said the reason of Asian students usually emphasize the importance of master's degree is the heavy population and poor economy.
Chandra said the heavy population and poor economy makes Asian countries extremely competitive in getting a job.
"When you have a lot of people n a relative poorly economy with a lot of job prospects, it becomes very competitive. So in order to get a job, you need be one out of five people ," Chandra said.
On the contrary, American students do not really need the master's degree as their advantages to find a job because U.S. has prosperous in 12th century, according the Chandra.
"In the case of U.S., which is being prosperous in the 12th century, I think you do not need that advantage," Chandra said.
