Man, a Masters or PE dont mean nothing here. People here have those things like cell phones and still cant find jobs.

...I dont know if yall have noticed.
But a lot jobs I've seen (Accounting/Finance/Budget) be asking for a masters degree, but the salary sucks(mid 40's). What kind if isht is that?
Has anybody noticed this in other fields?

I think some folks are gun shy now after knowing or working with folks who have Master's and haven't really progressed.

I really tried to get into George Washington's "Political and Public Affairs" Master's program but couldn't.
I am thinking about George Mason now possibly. However, I want to get a job in the area before I even think about grad school. It seems like I am getting no luck though. I was an Advertising Major at J-state and have been working at Clear Channel Radio of New Orleans for the past year. I have gotten a few calls but I really want to get out of sales.
Yes I am.
Everyone's situation is different. It sounds like ATL is not a good spot for MBA grads salary-wise judging from what you and Snake posted.
So I say, get some experience first and then let your employer pay for your masters.

Accounting and Finance is really strange these days. My mother has been in Accounting for over 30 years and got in with just a BS. Even 10 years you only needed a BS in Accounting for most entry-level or mid-level Accounting positions. Nowadays, the same positions are now asking for you to have an MBA and/or CPA, yet only want to start you in the low 40's. Most of the people that I know who only have a Bachelor's in Accounting or Finance are either underemployed or underpaid. Most are still stick in the 30's at their jobs.
Here in Atlanta, it seems like the trend is to increase the qualifications while keeping the starting salary at the same level. That is why I try to advise people to get their foot in the door somewhere and use tuition reimbursement if they want to get a Master's. The catch with some companies is that they either only pay for certain majors or may not pay for a person to go back to school if it is "not in the budget". My current company has reimbursement, but ironically on the graduate level they will only pay for you to get a general MBA. You are on your own if you want to get anything that is specialized.
