Honestly speaking, there are three factors that make me decide to go to graduate school.

Firstly, compared with the basic knowledge in the undergraduate stage, I can learn more professional knowledge in the postgraduate stage and lay a solid foundation for future work. Secondly, it's my dream to work in a securities company. However, most positions in famous securities companies require master's degree or above. Thus, the identity of a graduate student can make me more competitive in the job market. Thirdly, I can get to know more alumni who want to work in the financial field in the future, helping me accumulate more contacts and resources.
