yeah, I’m on that advanced degree train, but haven’t arrived at the money station. I would say I am probably above average income for my age in similar Cost of Living Areas, but below average for my education in the same. I’m also a tightwad and a scrapper, so I feel like I ball now because I’ve been in far shittier circumstances.
i have experienced my MSc work to let me out-compete BSc havers for desirable jobs in the public sector and I expect it will probably help me promote up over time so long as I handle my actual shit in the mean time. so, no regrets.
ever since I got it, I have been trying to get an honorific associated for the MS/MA, the way PhDs get “doctor”. I was thinking “Maestro”, but so far it hasn’t caught on.
I’m looking to get a PhD because I don’t think my mix of trauma and neuro divergence makes it possible to do meaningful work in many other industries/positions. I have learned to live with little, and I don’t really mind not having a super high salary, as long as I have s relatively healthy lifestyle.
I’m suspicious of the higher degree figures. Many non-stem (and some stem) PhDs pay really badly if you’re not employed by evil corps.
