nah. george bush is a very very very very very bad example. contrary to public opinion, this dude is not an idiot. watch the debates he had with al gore and tell me that n1gga didn't come off intelligent as fucck.
if you think average work ethic will get u far in life, you better get ur ass back in school and accumulate as much degrees as u can.
there's a ddue at my job who is really smart. technically speaking. he has all the degrees. he can take a course and pass it, where, i couldn't pass exams even if i tried my hardest. tell me why this dude stay looking through my sh1t, always trying to catch up to me. seeing what my latest projects are. trying to replicate them. i let him do it for a while, till i realized dude was snake. so i put a stop to that. now, he walks around the office not talking to me and looking mad. thinking I give a fucck. matter of fact, i lock sh1t down even more now just to make sure he stays mad. fucck him
now, whats the point. u can be an excellent degree accumulator, or whatever u wanna call it, if ur ass aint creative and lack a strong work ethic, trust, u aint sh1t.
lol at your connections and "average work ethic" putting u past a man like me
I never said George W Bush was stupid. But intelligence does not translate to a strong work ethic. George Bush bankrupted two companies as the CEO and as I stated before took the most vacation days of any active president and no he was not a good president. He was a cheerleader for fukksakes. He was not a hard worker yet he's still a multimillionaire and heir to a billion dollar fortune cuz of his family and connections. I'm not saying I'm in support of a subpar work ethic and nor does it apply to me but I'm making a point saying the average hard working man will never amount the financial fortune George W has due to his connections.

We're on the blood path now
From middle school up to high school all I heard was "Go To College. It opens up doors and is the key to success...blah...blah...blah..." I believed it, went to college. Freshman orientation was like "College is the key to success, it is the key to life. You took a great step in life....blah...blah...blah."
Then at college graduation the keynote speaker is like "Now you can go to grad school."I'm thinking the key to success was a 4 year degree that's what nikkas been telling me since 7th grade up until this point in my life. I got out in the world acquired a bunch of shytty dead in jobs then got laid off 3 times in 4 years. nikkas now is telling me to go back to school and get a masters to better compete for 60-70K jobs I could've gotten a decade ago with an undergrad degree and work experience.
Education is a hustle right now. And it's designed to keep a lot of students in debt. And the notion that you are supposed to go deeper in debt to acquire a Masters or more is ridiculous. Unless you have a technical profession (i.e. Doctor, Dentist, Engineer, Lawyer) a 4 year undergrad degree is all the formal education you need. The rest is based around your connections, personality, work experience & to a lesser degree your work ethic. Those four items will take you a lot further in life than PHDs or Masters ever could.
Things change. More people are going to school; however, the economy is weaker than it was back then. Thus, you have more supply than demand. To separate you from the pack, you have to get your masters.
Yup, depends on the field.

my aunt went back and she said she wouldnt have if her job told her they was gone pay and she was gonna have more opportunity in the company

Man degrees aint shyt. I got 1 bachelors and make $200k and i am 28. Hustle > Degrees.
I got about a year and a half for my bachelors for mechanical engineering and I'm goin' through it right now
. If this has the same value as a diploma, I might as well kill myself right now, because I'm damn sure not goin' for my Masters
I'm either movin' packs, or I'm robbin' n!ggas, but more school after countless hours of studying, bum a$$ raggedy summer internships, plus school through ever summer since high school
If an employer tells me, "Maybe you should try for your Masters and get back to us", Imma be on some real murder sh!t
N!ggas gon' bleed
thats the problem breh......
should have gone with chemical or electrical....

nah breh. he's good with that mechanical degree. i'm sorry but any employer who isn't satisfied with that degree needs to be laughed at and walked out on.
with a degree in that sh1t, and a few years of work experience, he's golden.
its just inhumane to be brainwashing people to pursue "higher education" when in most cases, sh1t is NOT necessary. the institution of colleges is a money making institution. they need suckers to keep believing that bs and keep coming back for more education.

You chose a major with a high demand. As long as you do internships and some extracurriculars along with a good GPA you'll be fine. If not you're going to have to be open to moving in order to get some experience.
There's a lot of factors to weigh, that's for sure. Is it a personal goal, is your job asking and/or paying for it, what's the job market look like/need, etc. Sometimes, it pays to get one while other times it might not be needed, especially if debt or lack of time/focus is an issue.
If an employer is paying for it, by all means go for it. Continuous learning won't hurt anyone in that instance...
Otherwise, do your homework and weigh the options...

more marketability, more opportunity, more formal knowledge, sometimes positions require the masters to get it hence more opportunity

No. Paying off debt and getting some work experience before pursuing a Masters is a good idea. Getting experience at a company that will reimburse tuition for said Masters is even better.
The option that doesn't put the student further in debt is what should be the logical choice.
