Master's degrees

[Discuss Thrower]

Who has one (or many)?

Are you currently or recently worked in the field that pertained to your field of study?

Was it worth the time and money?

Does having a post-grad degree prevent you from working on other fields?

The top people where I work have MS or PhD degrees. They had BS degrees and the company saw their talent and paid for continuing education. The PhD people were given a pass upon hiring and have worked out. I can't think of anyone that came in with an MBA-ish degree that are worth a darn. They are weeded out quickly. I think you can get an MBA from a million places...

MBA people are the worst. They think their degree trumps common sense.

I own my own small business. If I were devoid of common sense. It would be bad.

I'd bet my left nut that my Harvard MBA has gotten me further in life than anything you could fathom.

Well, that one does. It's considered one of the best.

MBA

own my business.

Yes.

Not sure it's applicable.

I have an MBA. I learned more in the MBA program than I did while doing my entire undergrad. It's definitely helped me immensely at work.

In terms of whether it will benefit you financially in the immediate sense, which a lot of people seem to want to know about, no. But I am sure it will help me in the long run.

It definitely seemed like it for me, too... my graduate classes were so much more intensive than undergrad and it didn't come with 2+ years of bullshit core classes. I thought it was well worth the time and money, especially after seeing a problem in an interview that I had seen several times in one of the economics classes.

MBA's teach you a lot of useful information that you can use the rest of your life.

What you learn is far more valuable than the piece of paper you get. I have a friend who spent 9 years in college studying bullshit and now he sells cars. I have 3 friends with MBA's and all of them are business owners. The guy who has 9 years in school mocks people with MBA's. Go figure.

This times a million.

It doesn't get you a job, or a promotion, or even a raise, but it will make you someone who will be better at what you're doing and will get all those things down the line.

The most successful people I know don't have masters but there are a lot of people that have masters that work for them.
