[QUOTE="n8thegr8, post: 2082094, member: 6349"] This. I'm about $40k in the hole for masters and bachelors combined, and only make about $50k a year now. Not too bad, but still. It really depends on what you want. If all you care about is making a lot of money, there's plenty you can do without going to college. Hell, I know a guy who got a government job in IT based on his veteran's preference, and parlayed that into a job at OGE making twice what I do, with no formal education. For me, I started out with a CS degree, and decided I liked hardware better, so I went for my masters in ECE. For what I do, a bachelor's is a bare minimum. I wish I made more money, but you couldn't pay me enough to go back into IT. [/QUOTE]
