Sociodemographic variables involved current marital status (married/de facto, separated/divorced/widowed, never married), employment status (full-time, part-time, not in labour force), education (total years studying to highest qualification), parent (yes/no).
The predictor variables comprised age group, gender, marital status, employment status, years of education to highest qualification, frequency of marijuana use, frequency of alcohol use, mastery, childhood adversity, physical medical condition, depression and anxiety, and life events in previous six months.
The Internet group were of similar age and gender distribution to the national sample, more likely to be married and more likely to have higher qualifications, but as likely to be employed.
Third, requirements for a large proportion of unqualified or certificate qualified staff to attain higher qualifications raise expectations for these staff to increase their knowledge of discipline-based content and pedagogical practices (Grieshaber 2010).
Public sector workers tend to have higher qualifications and work for longer periods for the same employer, accruing higher wage rates.
Distance learning plays a significant role in enabling students to acquire higher qualifications.
Of the medical students graduated annually in Pakistan, half leave the country for the United States and United Kingdom, mainly to acquire higher qualifications and salaries, and many never return [ 49].
This offered as an attraction for employment in the training institutions for those health professionals who desired to obtain higher qualifications.
However, planning to seek to secure higher qualification and pay levels within the workforce by sacrificing appropriate adult to children ratios is a flawed strategy.
