In fact, a recent graduate with a master鈥檚 degree in computer science often earns more than a recent MBA grad. Experts say that鈥檚 because computer science-related jobs are projected to grow even more in the next few years.
鈥淭he demand for technological workers continues to increase while facing a limited supply 鈥 both are good news for salary,鈥 said Katie Bardaro, an economist and vice president of data analytics at the online salary database PayScale.com in the聽U.S. News and World Report article.聽鈥淲hen looking at early-career pay 鈥 five years or less of experience 鈥 a master's in computer science beats an MBA in national median earnings.鈥
