Salary – Masters Vs PhD Vs MBA

By HSB 

Curious to know how much someone with Masters, PhD and MBA degree will get paid in New York City and San Jose, California?

  1. Many students have asked questions like
  2. How much will I get paid after completing Masters in U.S.?
  3. What will be difference in salary between Masters degree and PhD
  4. If I get MBA, can I double my current salary?
  5. After getting MBA, salary will be in 6 figures?

I had previously written about Average Salary for Masters Degree holders. Following chart will answer some of above questions


Source – Indeed.com

Entry level job for a student who gets hired while in engineering school to be software engineer gets paid Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,00 per month (Approximately USD 4000 per year). Getting masters degree will improve your problem solving skills too. So, what are you still waiting for?

    hi,
    i have just complete my engineering in biotech. But i score less marks in B-Tech
    only 54%. I know that thinking of studing in US is not good for students like me with poor record but i have taken active participation in extra activities during my academic peroid.
    I want to know that if I score good marks in GRE then is there any chance of scoring admission in good university
    please do reply
    ashish

    • Mandeep says:

      It is difficult to have admission in Masters degree with 54%, but if you GRE score turns out excellent, chances are great. In USA, they give you benefit of doubt. Also, many students like you with low scores in undergraduate turned out capturing great jobs, which includes me. But, once you get admission, change your lifestyle and assume it to be a rebirth. You need to prove yourself at all times during your stay in USA that you are good. Hope, I answered your question.
