re: Is Grad school a waste of time?

Chemistry.
As a STEM field, where you do actual "Graduate Work" it was a lot of time and effort for minimal pay $23k or so per year.
It definitely delayed earning $$.
But, did raise my ceiling a bit.
The jury is still out on whether it was worth it. I'd venture to say "no" however.
In most cases regardless of field I'd say if you pay for grad school it isn't worth it.
If someone else does it might be.
I'm likely going to get an MBA on employers dime if they are willing to pay.
Sadly, like most things the answer is "it depends".
