They are very selective, but not as extreme as that. I have a coworker that got into OLOL CRNA this year and I believe it was closer to 40 spots for 100 applicants.

I hear the CRNA programs are really selective. I think my brother said there were only two programs nearby (BR and Birmingham) and they only select like 9 or so applicants.
Have a close female friend trying to get hers now. She had incredible grades and incredible experience so she got into the programs she wanted, but she was waitlisted at her #1.
We're talking Vanderbilt education, great nursing school for her RN and crazy good experience in some hospitals. I can't imagine who got in before her, I thought that was crazy.
ETA:
She was going after the best ones in the country though.

I'm not sure how many of those guys are getting Masters degrees in those fields...
My experience has been that the movers and shakers in the investment management world tend to have either the CFA or an MBA from an elite school.

Definitely not in EE. Over my 3 years at UNO, I never saw an American grad student. It was all Indians, Asians, and Middle Easterners. Not sure of the reason. If I had to guess, they probably had to if they wanted to stay in the country.
I am in grad school for EE and I notice the same thing. The only difference is that since its an HBCU you have a balance of Africans and Middle Eastern Students (although it favors the middle eastern students).
I am a little disheartened that physics is rarely mentioned for upper level studies, but I guess thats why I switched majors again.

I honestly think a Masters degree in Geology is more valuable than a PETE MS.
Mid career pay is about the same ~180k for both degrees but you cannot work in the petroleum industry w a bachelors of geology whereas most petroleum engineers only have the BS.
You earning potential easily doubles going from a BS to MS in geology. Cant say the same for PETE.

other than being an actual anesthesiologist, best job on earth
i see more anesthesiologists on the golf course than every other profession combined. they never work and dont have to do shite when they do go to work. they and radiologists have it made
Wrong - I'm in a relatively cushy practice and still log 50+ hours per work week. Some of my fellow anesthesiologists are still pulling semi-residency hours. Of course we're compensated well but we do some scary shite. Plus the surgeons get all the glory despite the fact we save their asses on a daily basis.
I'm not complaining though, I love my job.

I have an associates and can rival that list. Gotta love having no loans and a great earning potential....not knocking masters but higher education is too expensive. Not sure I would encourage a child to incur that debt under current economic conditions.

Kind of a dumb list. They just ranked it by highest salary. A better method would be to rank them by percent of salary above the equivalent bachelors degree.

Or rank them by hours worked.....I wouldn't want to work grueling hours. I will work my 30 but not excited to work more even for a bigger pay off.

Med device sales is truly legit. $350K is realistic at 25-30 years old.
Posted on 9/1/15 at 10:49 pm to BoogaBear
This is a false statement. I'm a EE and already have a job set up with Amazon when I graduate for $115K year. I'll be 34 with 12 years of Active Army Experience.

Med device sales isn't the easiest field to enter. Not to mention, not as lucrative as it was 5-7 years ago.

That's a good question. I would imagine in PE if you're planning to rise in management a Masters is helpful. Even though most of the guys I Know get MBAs.
My mother was working at Crouse Hinds (airport lighting) and her mentor at work told her not to get a masters in engineering but instead get an MBA (she was already a PE).
She earned her MBA from Rensselaer Polytechnic. Took her 4 years to do it at night after work. My sister was 1 when she started and I was just about 1 when she finished. Beat that, y'all.

Getting an online MBA from a top tier school is not the same at all as getting a full time MBA from a top tier school. Acceptance rates for online are higher and you miss out on the primary advantage of attending a top tier business school - the networking and on campus recruiting opportunities you are exposed to. Otherwise, just an MBA isn't really going to get you anywhere. Now granted, if it's free it can't really hurt to pursue. Just saying that's a lot of debt to incur and the benefit often doesn't outweigh the cost.
