I think of it like Jack and the Beanstalk.

Does an engineer who attended an engineering school know anything more than a Cisco/Microsoft/telecom/SAN, blah blah blah engineer? You bet. He knows calculus, differential equations, physics, chemistry, math, etc.

does it translate into money? Possibly not. There are sales people who make more than engineers.

It depends what you want. If it's money, options are wide open. In 2004, it was real estate. I argue a realtor really knows little, but they made a lot of money back then.

I am one who supports the education/advanced degree tract. Someday if doctors can merely log into a computer and take online courses and begin work treating humans, we're all going to be in trouble.
