[MitchelMcA]

I’m debating whether to invest in a master’s program. Does it really improve job prospects or earning potential in today’s market?

A master’s degree can be worth it if it directly enhances your skills, credibility, or access to higher-level roles in your field. It’s especially valuable in specialized or competitive industries. However, consider the cost, time, and potential salary increase—sometimes experience, certifications, or networking offer better returns.
