Having taken a masters myself has helped med tremendously on all of the aspects:
1. I know a thing or two about computing etc. and how we should apply that on a societal level from my masters in computer science. I use that to engage in the discussion. Someone else has studies science of religion and can chip in with insights there.
2. Having an advanced degree has taught me a thing or too about reading and understanding research and critical thinking, which has helped me understand the extremely scattered market for health advice.
3. Having lived large parts of my adult life on a sub subsistence level has helped me be empathetic towards poverty etc.
4. Having an advanced degree helps you assess new projects and ventures that might be worth pursuing entrepreneurially.

Having lived large parts of my adult life on a sub subsistence level has helped me be empathetic towards poverty etc. It is unclear how having enough enough resources so that you could not produce anything for 6 years makes it easier for you to understand poverty than people who never had such privilege. I'm sure any person actually in poverty would much rather do nothing productive for 6 years while still having a roof over their heads, a dry place to sleep and food to eat. I think if being empathetic towards poverty is something that is important to it may be better obtained by just sending people to an impoverished place with no resources, social support structures or accommodation for a week.
