Americans don't need to get masters/phds to get high-paying jobs in the US, because we don't need them for the immigration benefits. In most STEM fields, an MS has very little functional benefits. Oftentimes, it's the same with a PhD. In fact if you account for the tuition cost (of an MS) + opportunity cost (lost income and lost advancement) they can be net negatives. > really don't think that there are any actual jobs that require nothing more than a BS degree and can be honestly considered for an H1B Uh, software engineering? I know many people with only BS's in CS, Math, or Physics who are better than most people with MS's or even PhDs. I think nursing might also be valid (though that is more credential-based, we still need BSNs).
