niscur29 is an unknown quantity at this point
I have both. My masters took three years and cost me 1 class. My employer picked up the rest. Thats the only way to do it nowadays. The truth of the matter is no matter how much education you have the real world after school is what makes or breaks you. Ive seen kids fresh outta school with honors not be able to handle day to day work. And kids who barely graduated work out better. It all depends on how you apply yourself with that education.

For reference, the employer that paid for my Masters did not adjust my salary once I finished. However my new employer did take my MS into account and now I make 30k a year more because of it. In the engineering field both education and experience get you the dough.
