All the work is worth it though, at the end of it you get a professional degree and the claims to the highest paying jobs for people with undergraduate degrees.

So... yeah. A lot of other degrees require certain masters or other degrees/diplomas before getting into more well paying jobs.

You never head that claim. You think so many ppl would claim without backup.
We do more than four years of work, creditwise.

What i mean at 4am in the morning is I take 154 credits in total. That's an additional 24 units.. almost a whole extra year of work.

What are you talking about... I never said people were claiming things without a back up.

When I said it was debatable I was thinking about all those people that work in the financial sector and earn a lot of money, they don't necessarily need a master's degree.
But then I looked at how they organize the information in those charts, and I realized it would probably be pretty hard to categorize some people. E.G. You don't need a specific degree to trade stocks or start your own business, so even if they have a business-related degree it would be unfair to assign them to a specific degree in that chart, if that makes any sense.
