* Master's degree: This is the most common next step after a bachelor's degree.
* Professional degree (e.g., MD, JD, MBA): These are often pursued after a bachelor's degree or sometimes after a master's degree.
* Doctorate (Ph.D., Ed.D., etc.): These are typically pursued after a master's degree, and often require significant research.
* No further degree: Many people choose not to pursue further education after earning a bachelor's degree.
To answer your question accurately, I need to know what *kind* of degree you are asking about (e.g., bachelor's, associate's, master's).
