[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so perplexed because I posted about the (part time) MBA, and got a lot of posts from people saying it isn’t worth it. Then, I look at corporate america and even leaders or non profits and government, and they all have advanced degrees - either law or mba or MPP.

And yet people seem to insist it’s not worth it? Are people on DCUM being cheap? Did they get their degree and not advance as far as they should have and now think they didn’t need the degree, but perhaps they didn’t advance as far as they would have without the degree and are unaware of it.

Financially, I feel like salaries get stuck around 200-300k without advanced degree, and the upside potential is much higher if you get a graduate degree. So the impact on finances should be high over your lifetime.

Am I thinking of this correctly? Feel free to critique my rationale.[/quote]

people are saying there needs to be a clear career path that requires the degree. Just getting a law degree at 35 is a giant roll of the dice  [/quote]

I work in policy, so there is a clear career path into senior management or executive roles. [/quote]
