This is certainly not true in the Engineering business in the US. An
advanced degree may make you "overqualified" for some positions however.
Several years ago, the highest paid new graduate at the bachelors level was
a political science major. He was hired by an investment banking firm who
wanted his brain and said they would teach him what he needed to know about
business. He started at $150,000 per year. I never did hear anything about
how he worked out. /jmac

I remember hearing somewhere that for every year of post-secondary
education beyond an undergrad degree the average salary goes down by a
certain amount. I'd have to do some digging to find out the numbers.
Just thought you could use some more words of encouragement :-).
Granted, that's including everyone with a master's degree in esoteric
studies who's stuck flipping burgers for minimum wage.
