[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Baffles the mind that someone thinks a terminal degree in any field won't pay more than stopping along the way. [/b] A phD in Psychology is not going to have a bachelors in computer science or vice versa and a phD in psychology always makes more money than a bachelors in Psychology.[/quote]

You’re missing that most master’s degrees are unfunded and that more education means postponing saving for retirement.

On the other hand, you are missing the point that for some, the goal is not "postponing saving for retirement."   [b]For many, it's a true love of the subject[/b].  For others, it's a means to and end.     My SIL has 4 degrees, no deblt. Loves what she does.  My son, year 2 ugrad, already looking into PhD prgrms in his field.    [/quote]

Great then those people can pay for their degrees themselves & stop begging for student loan forgiveness (lots of people begging for that got useless graduate degrees with loans).

I am the pp and all for no general atb loan forgiveness.  Still pro higher degree where interest and/or desire lies.[/quote]
