    Post: Master's Plus 30

    Posted by Al on 6/26/08

    I'm about at the end of Master's program. I wanted to get
    a Ph.D or Master's plus 30 but I've been kind of afraid
    because I heard horror stories about people who get those
    degrees sometimes have trouble getting jobs because:

    1. It's more expensive to hire them; it's cheaper to hire
    someone with just a Master's that can do the same job more
    than sufficiently.

    2. A lot of job opportunities that come with getting a
    Ph.D can also come with just a Master's, except being a
    college professor (but then again, it seems like 80% of
    the professors that I had, all had Master's degrees

    I've heard a whole host of things like this. So, I'm just
    wondering before I decide. I mean hey, if getting a
    Master's plus 30 or Ph.D = more trouble than it's worth,
    then I'll just keep just a Master's. But I just was
    thinking about getting one just to have one, and I could
    be the first in my family to have a Ph.D or so.

    Thanks,
    Al
