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 pay you more if you get an advanced degree and figures that if you get one you'll leave them for someone who will pay you more.
