I don't really think it's useful unless that's your plan. It has been helpful to me currently, I have a great salary right now so it's not as if it hasn't been useful.

KILBOTz 09/10/18 10:29:51 AM #14:	At my company a masters will be treated like 2 years additional experience. It opens no additional doors and you don't get paid more (other than the 2 years additional experience, which is 5-10%). I don't have an MBA, I have a business undergrad.
