Hi all,
OK, I'll weigh in here with a slightly different perspective.
I was 42 when I decided a major career change had to be in my future.

Hi,
We just did our self-evaluations for our employer.
At the department meeting today, the boss said getting a masters degree
was not an objective that supported company goals and was not a good
objective for our self reviews.
Yours truly mentioned pursuing a masters degree in his self review.
From pure business logic, unless they have a need to
brag to customers about the number of MA/PhDs they
hire, why would they want to have to pay higher
salaries?

What would a graduate degree provide to your employer, in tangible benefits?
Besides personal development, I mean.
I can kinda understand where they are coming from. A graduate degree is way
different than a BA or BS. What type of advantage would having the advanced
degree give you in order to do
Getting an advanced degree doesn't support the company's goals, yet
they'll pay people who have them more to do the same work. The
message I get from this is that the company pays more for advanced
degrees because qualified candidates who have them won't work for
less, doesn't want to have to
