So, does education make you better at your job? My experience says that there is very little correlation between having a MS vs a BS vs no degree in the quality of work people get done, at least as a professional coder. In fact, to me, a Masters is a red flag, it causes me to give a person additional scrutiny, because of the huge glut of awful coders with Masters that I have run into. So, in my experience, having a more advanced degree could only lead to higher income because of big companies with big HR departments, the government, and other clueless employers giving a pay differential. I would love to see the numbers comparing someone with a PHD from Shit State, compared to a person with a BS from Princeton, compared to a person with a genius level IQ who dropped out of Berkley. Or a PHD in History vs a BS in Math. I'm always suspicious of PHD's in industry. You don't get a PHD to go work for GE, you go work for GE when you have a piece of paper with PHD on it but can't get an academic position. So, what I'm saying is, while education level may be correlated with income, it's not a cause, except where employers are clueless.
