That degrees do you have?

[j2mccluggage at adelphia.net (Jody & Jennifer McCluggage)]

I agree that depending upon what field you are in the costs of post graduate
degrees may outweigh the benefit.  For example for myself, since I am not in
research or education, a doctorate degree probably would not add any to my
value and may even drop my value since many outside of those specialized
fields may be reluctant to hire someone with a doctorate.

I have a BS in CS (I also think that sounds funny to say) and debating a
Masters of some type.  But I'm not sure if I want to spend the cash for the
MS after dropping a ton on the BS.  One of my father-in-law's professors
said this about the degree chain:

BS - self explanatory
MS - More of the Same
PhD - Piled Higher Deeper

I keep wondering about that as I look on the return I have had on the BS for
the cost.  Perhaps it will open some doors for me later.  We shall see.

I also have a CS degree and am working on an MBA.  The difference might be
that I am not in infosec - but a software developer.

Though I am learning a lot about business and enjoying myself, I am also not
so sure about it either.  It seems like a lot of the things are busy work
BUT I know this is the only way, besides internal promotion, that you will
be able to get to a management decision.

I really would like to manage, because I think I could make the biggest
difference in the organization in such a role.
