What is the benefit of having a degree if it is not related to your career field?

In the federal government, an accredited graduate degree in any field is often used as a sole qualifier for many positions. In my case, my BSLS allowed me to start my job at a higher payscale than those without a degree.

Thank you for your input, is this also true with the MS Psychology you are pursuing at CCU?
