Do you need a Masters degree in those fields?

Software developers with just a bachelor's can make $100k + right after graduation.

Why I chose to get a second degree. And also why I laugh when people question that it was nursing.

I would have thought Economics, MIS or Finance would have been up there too. Senior portfolio managers at my friend's firm make $250k. He is one and is only 33

Are those Obama numbers?

I guess all the broke MBA's from shitty schools weigh down the average for all the mega-rich CEO's, New York finance folks, etc. with MBA's.
But I'd say the ceiling for a masters in finance or an MBA from a good school with strong alumni is much higher than those others on the list.
The floor is just $0

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.
