Was the course work for your Masters degree worth your time and money spent? do you think some of them could?

Question

just as well been left out, and something else included?

comments?

Answer 1

I enjoyed every class I took for my Master's degree. The cost was more than I could afford and I needed student loans, but the course work was great. My undergrad was a BS in Biology & Chemistry while my grad was an MA in Physics & Astronomy. I intend to apply and take even more classes when my loans are paid off.

Answer 2

My M.B.A. was worth it.

But, it was cheap as I got it a long time ago. I had undergraduate credits that applied to half of the needed credits. I independently studied for two courses which gave me six more free credits. Most of the companies I worked for paid for my remaining coursework. I think my mom sent me a check for a few courses. I may have made money on the deal.

I retired at 35 but then taught skiing for three years. Then I bought some rental property and started a very small business. It has most definitely paid off.

If I had it to do over again, I would have taken more coursework in real estate and investments.

Answer 3

For me, it was worth it. Not just for the education, but also for the people I met. If your Master's is an MBA, that's even more worth the money (although some companies will pay for your MBA if you start work first.... same for other work related Master's).

Answer 4

My MBA was absolutely worth it, I retired at 45.
