<p>I think it depends on what type of masters degree also. In business, I know many students who had their workplace pay for it (if so lucky to have found a job) My niece had her CPA covered and classes, my nephew is having his degree partially paid for by his employer (but after 3 years on the job)
In social sciences, that is harder. My son feels without a Masters/Eds/PhD, the postions he would want wouldn’t be available.</p>
