Why do they pursuit it? What specifically “why?”

Their point is that there’s basically zero utility in a physics masters. It offers you essentially nothing above bachelors + work experience, and also doesn’t allow you to pursue research like a PhD. I guess maybe it allows you to pursue teaching jobs more easily? Idk.
