First of the all,  Bachelor degree graduates went on to continue some type of full-time study after their undergraduate degree and this proportion is likely to rise. There is a clear association between level of education and employment, as well as salary. With job roles becoming increasingly complex, higher levels of skills and qualifications are needed, especially if job candidates are seeking a competitive edge over those with undergraduate qualifications. These postgraduate qualifications include postgraduate certificates and diplomas, UG, PG degree , master’s degrees and doctoral degrees. 

I think there are many few challenges as the postgraduate studies have been  more accessible than ever. Postgraduate study is particularly accessible now that many universities offer their courses by distance and online, as well as part-time, so you can study from the convenience of your own home, at your own pace and around your other work and family commitments. However, If you are just finishing your undergraduate degree and are eager to get out into the workforce, further study may be the last thing you feel like contemplating.

Here are some tips to overcome possible challenges:1-Try to gain support from your employer to undertake postgraduate studies by allowing flexibility with working hours and even, in some cases, offering financial aid. 2-Investigate postgraduate scholarships from the educational institution where you wish to study. 3-Define your goal so whether you do it to advance in your chosen field, jump in at a higher level, change to a completely different career, or just out of sheer interest and passion, postgraduate studies can be a more than worthwhile pursuit.

4-Think for most people a postgrad degree is an investment that they will have to make at some point in their careers.

5-Not wait too long to pursue one  , the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to really focus and benefit from it.

6-Think very clearly about the program you choose   definitely try to get into the very best program you can. A poor-quality program won’t reflect well on you and your investment of time and money is better made with a program that is high-quality and of high repute.

For me personally I had many challenges , because I’d already entered the workforce and employ in Pharma field immediately after bachelor degree, you may feel deterred from undertaking postgraduate study because of the sacrifices of time, income and lifestyle involved. But the costs and sacrifices are temporary and can be well worth it. Think of it as an investment in your future that could open up a whole new world of opportunities and possibly more lucrative ones.

Some of the hardest challenges facing college graduates today:

Downturn In The Economy

We are all sick and tired of hearing about the global financial situation, sluggish economic growth and rising unemployment. Unfortunately this is the situation which new graduates find themselves facing when looking for a job. The best career advice is to network, stay patient, and increase the effort into the job search. You are going to have setbacks and days when you feel like the whole world is against you. The real challenge will be ones of continuing perseverance and confidence.

Lack Of Real World Experience

The key advice to all graduates (and those preparing to graduate) is to seek work experience. This advice seems like common sense however gaining work experience (even if it means working for free) can help you plan out your career and gain vital experience in competitive industries. When the time comes to apply for full time work, your work experience can be the difference in setting you apart from your competitors.

Too High Expectations

Many graduates complete their university studies and expect to hand pick the job they want. Furthermore, graduates have an expectation they know what is best and should actually be the boss rather than working for the boss. Too many times, new graduates will apply for job positions which are so unrealistic and then get despondent because they are not getting interview requests. It’s important for graduates to realise that they need to gain the experience before they can call themselves the boss.

Debate Between Further Higher Education And Job Seeking

Do you continue to study or start straight away with the job seeking? Many graduates don’t have a choice in this matter but for those who do continuing to study can lead to greater results long term (financial and job position) and also further help distinguish yourself apart from other graduates. On the other hand is it better to start working and get your foot in the door? There’s no better education then real life experience of learning on the job.

Big challenge for fresh graduates is they are not having experience, every employer asking for experience worker, if they will not get any job so how they will get experience?

How to enter into the market where many people are ready to work at lowest salary than you want?

IF they get job they start comparing them with seniors.

Another thing is job dissatisfaction.
