[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Agreed. I made $85k at age 25 with no degree. (I now have a masters and make twice that in a government job.) People who are overly fixated on education as a means to increase salary overlook the fact that scanning your environment for opportunities is more likely to yield results than sitting back and expecting your degree to do the talking.[/quote] I don't think people are necessarily fixated on the degree but it can vastly improve your STARTING position. Where you go with it almost never depends on your degree although having a degree(s) from name brand places can help when moving around. Started at $60k in 2006. A few degrees later (none terminal) and a move to the government about 9 years ago and I'm at $160k. The flexibility with a young family is key at the moment.[/quote] Flexibility with or without a young family is always key -- it doesn't change.[/quote]
