@marcus - you may be right that going after knowledge is more important than going after education. but i think you are talking about an ideal world. everyone wants knowledge, but everyone also wants to move up in life. and now everyone has the means to get there - now education is a pedestal - standing on which many people can get to where they want to - so there are many motivations for going for higher degrees - knowledge could certainly be one of them - but a large number of people also want better salary and better work environment..so this article was written keeping that in mind…

also - this was a first blush at doing such an analysis - keeping the complexities out - so only the most important aspects like salary, cost of living and tuition were included….

i dont agree with this. analysis here is all about the salary.that should not be the case anywhere. if u believe u have strong leadership skill , MBA is good. if u believe u are good enough in your domain, then go for MS. anyway u can go to management later.note, i’ve used the word believe, if u believe, not think or feel . so the most important thing is what u believe.dont think a degree can change everything. what inside u matter.

morever, i disliked this topic. bcoz i think when making analysis, everything should be considered, including the salary.this analysis was set on only abt the salary.

this sort of analysis makes people blind, and makes them go after degrees, not after knowledge. overall i feel this analysis is incomplete.

32L vs 10L is fine but u also need to take care of cost of living in US vis a vis in India
