If they got Masters or MBAs then they are even further behind and have even more to unlearn before they can be productive.
Those people are earning less and are 4-6 years behind you on the advancement curve.
The slope of that curve depends on your ability and dedication, not a piece of paper.
- jones1618 14y agoThe problem is that the world isn't a perfect meritocracy. There's no objective way for someone who is in the position to give you a raise or a job can know precisely where you are on your ability and dedication curve. That's why "those people who are earning less" who happen to also have MS/MBA pieces of paper will look like a better deal. Also, those future bosses may see your extra 4-6 years as potential bad habits, entitlement and cynicism that you'd have to unlearn to be productive for them. I'm not saying it is fair or inevitable but it wouldn't hurt to arm yourself against degree-ism and agism any way that you can.
