Highly Educated Workers Paid Less
According to the report, holders of masters� degrees or above get paid less than college graduates on average by 220,000 won a month. The report indicates that getting a higher education does not lead to a successful career anymore. The study also shows that jobseekers graduating from prestigious universities with good grades and English scores find good jobs.
