[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As mentioned earlier, here is the story from the WSJ https://www.wsj.com/articles/financially-hobbled-for-life-the-elite-masters-degrees-that-dont-pay-off-11625752773 It's behind a paywall, so here is the lede: Recent film program graduates of Columbia University who took out federal student loans had a median debt of $181,000. Yet two years after earning their master’s degrees, half of the borrowers were making less than $30,000 a year. [/quote] I think film school as a Bachelors vs film school as a master's is a different proposition. A bachelor's gets you access to a lot of careers--so you might as well do the long shot major if that's where your passion is. You'll still qualify for random entry-level jobs that you get a few credentials for that require a bachelor's. But a master's is really to specialize in a particular field--and you often have to take on a bigger debt burden. [/quote]
