<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Depends on the degree?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It really depends on what your Masters is in, and how successfully you can leverage it. I recently got an MBA, which--if you play the odds--should provide a significant career boost with commensurate remuneration over having just a Bachelors. Odds are anyway. Hasn&#39;t happened yet though, so it would be premature to say what value beyond the intrinsic, my Masters has, so I guess we&#39;ll see.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your question answered with questions:<br />- is a masters degree required to be competitive in your preferred field?<br />- which type of degree?<br />- what is your motivation for pursuing the masters? Personal or,professional?<br />- are your earnings (professional reasons) going to make the degree worthwhile? What is your simple pay back? <br /><br />The answers to those tells you whether or not it&#39;s an advantage

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In what MOS, is it required or just good to have. Does the MA fit into your MOS or not. During getting the MA did your stay competitive with your peers? Didn&#39;t miss deployments, schooling (Army style) etc. When I was in, having a advanced degree could get you a 2nd look, if all other things were equal, but it was not a trophy winner.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Actually for me, it was a two edged sword. Personal motivation was to obtain something that couldn&#39;t be taken away. Expected result when your first look to O-4 was 15% promote. But I was sane enough to get one in something that would help me do better work in my career path. However, the people that mattered couldn&#39;t relate to the degree although they really liked my work product. In the end, this stuff is only worthwhile if you do it for yourself. That and I&#39;m officially bipolar now with rugs from both UCLA and USC. Always win the last game of the season.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>At one time, a master&#39;s degree was better suited for professionals that had been in the industry for a while. Students would learn as much from the other people in the class as they did from the class itself. Like others here have said, though, it depends on what you do with it.
