Program Review - Missouri State University

[spohara]

The "spend money to make money" concept here is just unrealistic for the vast majority of people. There are so many variables, what you were making pre-post doctorate, field, resume, etc. The vast majority of people won't get a PhD and double their income. The vast majority will never sniff the kind of salary you've managed. I make less than half of your first post-PhD offer and I am still in the top 10%. And for my situation, it is unlikely that a PhD would add very much to my salary. Grad school has a notoriously low ROI (degree depending of course) whenever they publish stats.
