They had less of a desire to help others,make new discoveries in their field, and to conduct research than full-time students. Part-timestudents did, however, desire more knowledge and career advancement equally to their full-timecounterparts. They desired higher pay more than full-time students. These results showcase thefact that part-time students focus more on the usefulness of their master’s degree than theirpassion for the field.There are other characteristics worth noting as well.
