[quote=Anonymous]To be honest, salary wise, a MS degree with the tuition cost these days is not a good ROI to bet on. The market demands hot skills and the latest one too. Technology changes every 6 month or so. Keep up, jump a few times, in 5 years, you will be able to make $120k+ (today's money) if you know how to negotiate. 200k with 10 years under your belt. 2x that if your area of expertise is really rare and in demand (think finance, banking & AI for instances). 3x or 4x that if you ended up in a great company with options and bonuses. There are times & areas when degrees do matter however. Certain research fields need masters and PhDs. I know a few AI guys with PhDs make near or over 7 figures. They are not common though. [/quote]
