Friend of mine went to one that's around #25. His offer coming out was $35K more than the job he left to attend the program full time. And he moved fields from one he didn't like (healthcare) to one he did (marketing). No rich parents involved. Sample size of 1 FTW!
- antiismist 17y agoIs that really a win though? Your friend is out two years worth of income + considerable debt to make an extra 35K after two years.
- zackattack 17y ago35k a year adds up pretty quickly. Salary acceleration is also likely to be increased.
- jraines 17y agoI agree, especially with the first point. Also, though the program was a lot of work, two years of being back in a college environment is pretty cool for most people (from the people I've met in this program, it's not like the typical ennui- and angst-ridden experience you usually see other types of graduate school portrayed as -- although I guess it would be if you're going into it because you've got no other ideas, i.e. grad school as "the snooze button on the alarm clock of life")
