My first job after completing mine gave me ~25% pay increase, and it's gone only up since. I don't claim this is causal, but I'm not displeased with the correlation. Personally, I found I enjoyed the coursework more than I had during undergrad, and I challenged myself to strive for actual mastery of the material, rather than just doing the minimum to get the credential.
