Perhaps this is rude....

[cypster]

but how much did your degree acquisition actually profit you? Bachelors or Masters...From a salary perspective only (I'm aware of the value it adds to your esteem and family blablabla). I'm looking for numbers here.

Don't share more than what makes you comfortable (if at all) but let's see if there are other incredibly motivating situations amongst us. Was there a substantial shift in your income after you obtained your degree? Yes, of course, "substantial" is relative - but lets say....20% difference between from your non degree life?

It is highly probable that for a large number of members on this forum who work to complete their degrees "The value it adds to your esteem and family blablabla" may very well be the primary reason for returning.

That said, Passit's journey might prove helpful to you as you search for financial benefits that might be obtained from earning a degree. http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...ccess.html

Hope that helps.
