Well-being and Career Decision-making Difficulties Among Master’s Students: A Simultaneous Multi-Equation Modeling

There is a stellar upsurge in the number of persons pursuing a master’s level of education as well as the institutions offering it in the current generation. Nevertheless, an explicit theoretical and empirical implication of how the tutelages, at this level, shape the well-being of learners—such tha...
