However it isn't the matter if you get master degree or not, the matter is how much u can earn after you invest on your study.

I should have met you when I was younger.

hahhahah....

So, for fucksakes, an MA or MS in what? Or is this another whinge binge?

Is this some kind of survey or is it related to you Samouth?

I have a Doctorate in Oral-Gynecology.

BTW/ My two nephews just finished in a 4 year college in the states and got jobs starting out at $100K and $120K a year. Its all in what you study and who you know.

Washington State University. I don't know the degrees, but they work in computers, and it helps when their Mom is a high up in an Israeli computer firm(that sells to Microsoft) and has contacts in the industry.

No, Mom did not hire them, but she did pull some strings getting them the jobs. She has really great high up contacts in the Computer Tech industry. ( she and her company, like I said, sell to the likes of Microsoft.)

I don't see the point of getting an MA right after a BA. Sure, it might make it a bit easier since you're still in academic mode, but employers will still value someone with experience more than someone with an MA. At least, smart employers will...

I did half a BA and then left school for a few years and decided to go on active duty tour. Upon my return, I was more mature and despite only being a few years older than the other students, I loathed the whole school experience. I'm still happy I finished my degree though. But it's kind of difficult to feel bad for 19 year old kids who think doing "all nighter assignments" is torture when you were getting shot at, not sleeping for 3 days straight and shitting in plastic bags out in the desert. My stress levels were extremely low though while others were chugging 6 coffees per day and complaining about "stressful" exams. It made me appreciate education that much more though. However, in hindsight I should have switched majors. The only reason I continued in my major was because I had started it and didn't want to start from scratch... In hindsight I should have a picked a whole new major when I had the chance as now it's too late to do a whole new program. I couldn't take it, and don't want to be that older dude at university.

Samouth, you now have a few years of work experience, so your thoughts are clearer and you should have a better idea of what you want in life. Nothing is stopping you from getting an MA now or later on. If you do decide to take one, than it'll be in a (hopefully) useful subject which you enjoy. Rushing into an MA isn't really a good thing in my opinion. Getting some life experience before is a much wiser decision.
