Getting a Master's degree thou a great accomplishment, does not always yield the best return on investment for you. When people get Master degrees, they believe it will automatically get them more money. This is not always the case. A Masters degree can make you over inflate your value.

Job in tech first then get an employer to pay for your Masters. Majority of undergraduate student should not go into a masters program directly after your bachelors.
Get the master's and leave it put of your resume until you get your first job, then after 18 months update your resume with your master's and look for the higher paying job. Problem solved.
I have no college degree but I do have a couple Vmware certifications in Microsoft certifications that I obtain from being self taught in my home lab. I cleared well over hundred thousand years ago.
Honestly, the only reason why I would get a masters would be so that I can be a professor. That’s it. In tech, if you wanna make money get certified. It’s quicker and way cheaper.
You need a PhD to be a professor.
@@damonaniton I think out of all my professors in my CIS program only 3 had PhDs.
It really depends on what career path you want. If you want to be in AI atleast in a hire up position, you’ll need a masters…People out here saying certs ain’t enough. They go get a security+ and think they’ll make 100k but the job wants a more advanced cert AND degree lol. I’m going by what these companies say they want for realistic expectations
@@LanskeyBeatzYou think these companies know what's needed? In reality they don't what's needed at all. They don't even include the people who are doing the work in the hiring process most of the time. Learn to do the work and work on proving how well you can do the work. Look at the application, and ask yourself if you can do the job, and then apply. These companies don't know anything other than how much they're willing to pay for a solution.
@@LanskeyBeatzOh and build an actual network.
I've a General Studies Associate and am working towards going the tech route. From what I've seen education is good, but experience is what's going to get you into the door
This is called truth. People dont want to hear actual truth. They only want to hear what they want to hear.
I’m in a masters program for personal reasons and because I’m changing fields. My undergrad degree was in music and I’m in an infosec masters program. I’m liking it so far. But I’m not expecting the masters degree by itself to be some smoking gun when I go job hunting after I finish my degree, and so as long as you temper your expectations and have valid reasons for pursuing it, it can be worth while. But if I had a Bachelors in CS already I’d probably be making different moves rn
Nope, I disagreed. I am in STEM field in Computer Science with master degree. My company is pushing the engineers to Up skilled with AI and Data Science. 18 months programs do not teach advance Algorithms and Math. With that logical, Why not become a skilled Blue Collar worker.
unless your trying to be a quant or algo trader advance algorithms and math is useless
Where do you work at
3:38 I worked to helpdesk for almost 3 years in two years in, I had already started working towards the next progression to a junior systems admin and just kept moving up from there is a great place to start, especially for people who need to develop skills and customer facing skills. It’s a great place to start to 13 years ago corporate America already in various operational roles not related. I know some people who been on the helpdesk problems 20 years. I’m like no thank you and they may explain why they’re so crabby but to each their own.
🤣🤣🤣
@@TechTualChatter I got to stop using voice to text here it don’t understand black 🤣😂🤣😂 I just read what I wrote and I sound like Anton Daniels
1) Don't take on more debt (makes perfect sense)
2) The time you take to do a masters, you can gain real experience (you get paid less but you can climb up the time it takes to finish the masters)
3) You can get the masters but don't mind working for less pay (which can be demoralising).
4) Companies are brutal and don't care.
I know the exact video you're talking about and content creator that hosted him. That was super slimy for what he did and everyone defending that huge experience disparity.
🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Well, as someone who had a 40-year career not in computer science/IT/ or Tech. My B.S. degree was in Electrical Engineering. This field is more skills based almost like a skilled "blue collar" worker or a LVN/RN nurse, you get paid based on your knowledge and experience and, not on a piece of paper from a college or University. However, in science or engineering, I always suggest your Masters degree should be in something different but, only after you are employed in the different field. For example, if I was employed as an Environmental Scientist then, I might earn a M.S. degree in Environmental Engineering. This is because, I believe your master degree should help you advance within your company but, not to get hired (smile ... smile).
The assumption is getting a degree for work, Master and PhD is really for Academia / Research.
Second assumption is getting into more debt, most the time if you get accepted into Master or PhD its subsidized by the university and other organizations. If you cant get sponsored, you shouldn't pursue graduate school. Undergraduate is really just filtering process. If your purpose is to make more money short term, then you should build experience first.
I agree but a lot of people are in debt due to their masters including me 🤣
6:19 there’s nothing wrong with finessing. I definitely agree with you with that because that’s all part of getting that put in the door or next step. I always look at a job posting as a wishlist and for the things that I don’t know I can definitely learn them or get comfortable with the tech before I start the new gig
That is not true! I disagree. In CS or IT in general, an undergraduate and a Master will have almost the same salary for most of companies. If a master’s degree holder is getting paid more, it will be not more than 10k per year.
Overall, for someone coming from a non CS undergraduate, to get into CS as a software engineer, it is way way better for him/her to get a master degree than a bootcamp or self teaching route or certificate route. A master degree is only 1 to 2 years.
What about internship experience and Masters from a top 10 CS school
That would count as experience and value added to your skillset
5:26 sound like the devops dude making 200k+ with only 12 months exp lmao
I remember that
That’s who it is
Get your masters after you've been in the field for a little bit.
It will benefit you in the long run you'll make more than the people with certifications.
@@chrisbranch58 🎯🎯🎯
Folks think they're entitled to higher wages because they have a degree.
In a way you are but not in a way that you get more than people in the field with more credentials than them
Only valuable if you go to a top 20 program, preferably top 10.
I have no college degree but I do have a couple Vmware certifications in Microsoft certifications that I obtain from being self taught in my home lab. I cleared well over hundred thousand years ago.
