Generic question:
Does higher education even get factored in once you've built a solid base of
experience? If so, how and why? I'm just curious. All I have is a BS (well,
that and very solid, diverse working experience. *g*), and so far haven't
been able to justify the "upgrade" to MS or PhD. I can see where having a
master's degree would help you get your first few jobs, and how a PhD could
potentially hurt your chances the first few jobs, but other than that,
doesn't experience weigh in much heavier than education?
