I’ve reached upon these figures after going through job listings, recruiters’ websites, interviewing employees and/or employers. The actual figure varies from one employer to another. It depends upon factors such as – educational qualification of the employee, profile of the employer, job-location, availability of additional benefits & more.

Is bachelor’s degree enough – the answer to this question depends upon various factors. The most prominent factor is – requirements set forward by the recruiter/employer. I’ve listed all of the above-mentioned job posts due to the following reason – the most common education level of that particular job post is – bachelor’s degree.

In other words, majority of people doing that particular job have relevant bachelor’s degree. It doesn’t mean that bachelor’s degree is enough to help you get that job. The educational requirement criteria may vary from one employer to another. Some recruiters may want to hire a person who has a higher qualification.
