What Is a Master's Degree Worth?

Thursday, July 9, 2009

Check out this article from the NY Times website:

What Is a Master's Degree Worth?

I also enjoyed "Not All Degrees Are Equal" by Richard Vedder on the same page. It reminded me of how difficult it is to choose a life path that will influence the rest of your life. Remember when you were asked: "What do you want to be when you grow up?", perhaps the question should be "What master's degree do you want when you grow up? In today's economy it makes more sense to pursue a more specialized education, and from what these articles are saying, it seems like getting a master's degree is not without pitfalls.
