To be noticed, all those degrees are difficult, and take dedication. But I think that the figures speak for themselves, in terms of degree as an investment.

That's very informative! Bookmarked it.

In comparision, the median income in the US (including both people with and witout degree) is 51 000%, so it's a 100% + increase for the better degrees. Also a nice bonus, jobs with degree have a higher job security, and better work hours. Working in University, for example, allows you free reign of the summer 4 months - though you should probably use it to advance research/work on any exterior projects (consulting for companies can be quite lucrative), it's nice to be in control of when and how much you want to work.
