I have a masters in physics. The degree was useful to convince the hiring manager that I could learn what I needed to learn to do the job, despite not having a BSEE (engineering degree). It's turned into a 15 year career.

Everyone I know with a Masters has not been able to really use it. I am hearing more and more that trade school is the way to go for job security. I have a friend who's son went to Electrician school. He is 25 and the head electrician for a major grocery store chain and he is pulling in six figures. Most people I know with psychology degrees work for schools as counselors. They aren't making much money considering what they paid for their education.

first off you need a phd in psychology to 1) get a job in that field 2) call yourself a 'psychologist' anyways yes a MS is useful and gives you the edge in a competitive market.. whether it's the edge to get hired, or the extra pay, it's nice :) my MSAS is more mathy, so i can't comment on medical pay...

My daughter just got her MSc in Technology Management and her research got her a full ride for a PhD in Civil Engineering at a top school.
