QUESTION 1 · Short 5-year estimate · 1/3

Student responses

1. 10 years because the increase wouldn't be super significant and the cost is high
2. 5 year, a small gap but also enough
3. 5 years
4. Depending on the school, I think it would take about 10 years to catch up financially
5. Five years? But I think it could be more since you wouldn't have been able to start paying off your undergraduate loans either.
6. Given the two years of lost wages along with an extra two years of tuition, i would expect it to take about 5 years to recoup the money spent
7. I estimate not much difference between bs and ms especailly after years of working, so no.
8. I expect it to take at least five years
9. i think about 5-10 years? because the salary gap would catch up the money loss during studying not in a short period, but also not very long

QUESTION 1 · Short 5-year estimate · 2/3

Student responses

1. I think it would take around 5 years, as master's degrees are typically more expensive per year than bachelor's degrees, so you would need more than just two years to catch up financially.
2. I think that it would take 5 years. You are forgoing a salary for at least 2 years and must also pay thousands of dollars or go into more debt. Additionally if you've worked for 2 years you are likely receiving a promotion
3. I think that it would take probably around 5-10 years
4. I would guess 5 years on average. I'd guess a job with a masters makes around 20% more than a bachelor's job so it would take 5 years to make that up
5. It would take about 5 years, 2 to make up of for missed experience time, 2 to pay off 2 years of school and 1 year to catch up
6. Maybe 5-10 years. I need to make enough money to not only pay off loans, rent , but then also catch up to the person who had two years of earning that did not have to pay off any debt that occured from getting my masters.
7. Maybe it would take about 5 years to pay off a masters degree.

QUESTION 1 · Short 5-year estimate · 3/3

Student responses

1. My guess would be about 5 years as you are delaying your income as well as paying for more school but your income would be higher after the masters.
2. Well I am an instate student, so lets assume I am getting a masters from Umich. It still would be a lot, but I think maybe 5 years max probably

QUESTION 1 · Long multi-decade estimate · 1/3

Student responses

1. 1000000grands per month
2. 20 years, I think with the costs of not working for the two years and the price of getting a masters, the wage difference will not be enough to overcome the costs for 20 years
3. hopefully less than 5 years. I estimate about 40k per year spent on the masters. after masters you should have a slightly higher paying role than with just a bachelors
4. I think it will take about 3 year to catch up finacially because even though you will probably be able to fully pay out the loan with 1 year of salary
5. I think it would be about 10 years, accounting for the cost of two more years paying for school and not working, but getting paid 20% more.
6. I think it would take about 1 year to catch up financially because with a masters it is more likely that i will go directly into a higher paying job, so i would need to know how much the masters cost per year
7. I think it would take around 20-30 years depending on the costs of everything

QUESTION 1 · Long multi-decade estimate · 2/3

Student responses

1. I would estimate a Master's degree is around 90k/yr, so 180k total. After your master's, going back into the workforce, maybe you're making around 115k, so about 1.5 year payback period, not accounting for time value of money or interest
2. I would estimate around 10-15 years. This is because you would give up 2 years of a bachelor's level salary which is around 90,000 to 100,000 while paying tuition whihc around 60k
3. I would potentially get a masters degree just because having all those other skills would be very beneficial for applying for jobs. i think it would probably take around 1-2 years to catch up after you graduate. a masters degree salary is way more than
4. I would think it would take over a decade just knowing a masters degree is thousands of dollars and spending habits/saving is subjective

QUESTION 1 · Long multi-decade estimate · 3/3

Student responses

1. Usually with these kinds of jobs getting a masters degree can elevate your salary. So what I will say is that it will be an average between 2 years and 0 years since getting your bachelors degree. So approximately 1 year. But realistically, it will be close to 2 years since the salary rise won't be 100% higher.

QUESTION 1 · Prefer working; short catch-up stated · 1/2

Student responses

1. 3 years, because you need to pay back around 120000 dollars of ug tuition, plus how much ever masters is too
2. 3 years.
3. I guess 3 years, cause I am an international student so the tuition fee is higher than in-state students
4. I think around 10yrs since its usually a 6 figure investment and i assume it boosts ur income by about 10k per year.
5. I think it would take 4-5 years to catch up finaciually, say you spend 50k a semesterand you are working on a 100k yearly salary. 2 sems = 1 years salary so 4-5 years
6. I think it would take around 10 years because it improves ur income generally but also costs a ton more .
7. I think it would take at least 10 years to pay off the money post-master's, as you have to account for lifestyle purchases as well.
8. I wouldn't. I want to start working. I feel like it would take around 3 years to catch up.
9. It would probably be 3 years

QUESTION 1 · Prefer working; short catch-up stated · 2/2

Student responses

1. Like 10 years. Living and groceries and the cost of education... it adds up
2. You would need to think about the difference in pay before and after getting a master's, and how much you could earn in 2 years with just a bachelor's degree, plus you need to account for how much you spend getting a master's degree.

QUESTION 1 · Five-year estimate with rationale · 1/2

Student responses

1. A master degree would cost me 100000 dollar, even more if it's two year, I think I need at least 2 years to earn that back
2. I think at least 10 years, because i am a international student which makes my tuition fee higher than local students.
3. I think it would be 10 years or more depending on the job i have after getting my degrees and how much interest the loans pile up. additionally, inflation plays a roll
4. it takes around 8–10 years after finishing the master’s degree to catch up financially; estimate depends on the cost of tuition, how much higher the master’s salary is compared with the bachelor’s salary
5. It would take about 10-15 years because the masters will make about 15k more but has to make up for the two years of school while they were not working.
6. maybe 5 years? I have no idea how much masters degrees are but if it's similar to undergrad, maybe 20k a year which would be 40 k but you'd have to pay for undergrad loans at that point as well
7. Probably 4 years, since you need to make up 2 years of not working and 2 years of school expense

QUESTION 1 · Five-year estimate with rationale · 2/2

Student responses

1. With another two years, in order to catch up I feel like it would take around 10 years, because not only are you missing out on 2 years of pay, but you are also paying a lot for masters school.

QUESTION 1 · Rough 6–7 year estimate · 1/1

Student responses

1. 6 or 7, assuming job u get pays more with masters.
2. 6 years, you would have to take the avg incremental salary increase with a masters, and divide it by the tuition
3. 7-8 at least, depending on interest rates, inflation, cost of tuition, and avg salary to allocate towards paying it off
4. I think it would take probably around 5-7 years to recoup all debt from college but that depends on your salary and job right after
5. like 6 or 7 years
6. Probably around 7 years. Tuition is the largest expense, but there's also the opportunity cost of not being able to get promoted in the workplace. Masters degree holders can probably get senior associate roles that bachelor degree holders cannot get, so my estimate is under 10 years.
7. Six years

QUESTION 1 · Very short/uncertain estimates · 1/1

Student responses

1. 2years?
2. 3 minutes, if i make a million dollars a year 3 minutes i could recoup a lot
3. I estimate 2 years, as the work salary of ms is appro higher than bs degree.
4. I think it would depend on the area you get your masters in, but if it's a growing job field then maybe three or four years.
5. I think it would take about 10 more years because you lost about $100,000 in those 2 years but would be making about $10,000 more per year.
6. Maybe 12 years. I would expect an additional 5,000 dollars per year and a single year masters is 60,000 dollars.
7. My guess is that it would take 2-3 years after, considering that masters usually is around 40k per semester. Although average pay after is probably closer to 80-100k, it would still take a bit.

QUESTION 1 · Detailed numeric calculation · 1/2

Student responses

1. I think it would take around 7 years after finishing the master's degree to catch up financially. I would consider the two years of salary I would give up while attending graduate school, the cost of tuition and living expenses, and the higher salary I could potentially earn with a master's degree. For example, if I gave up about $140,000 in earnings and spent another $60,000 on graduate school, I would start about $200,000 behind. If the master's degree increased my salary by around $30,000 per
2. I would estimate about seven years after finishing the master’s, using a simplified example. If I could earn $50,000 a year with a bachelor’s, spending two years in school would mean giving up $100,000 in earnings. If the master’s also cost $40,000, I would have $140,000 to make up. Earning $20,000 more per year afterward would mean $140,000 ÷ $20,000 = 7 years to catch up.
3. I would expect about 4 years because your income will be way higher than it would be without the masters but masters is still really expensive

QUESTION 1 · Detailed numeric calculation · 2/2

Student responses

1. My estimate includes how much the pay difference would be between a bachelor's job and a master's job, and how much grad school costs while adjusting for inflation rates in the meantime. I suspect, for two years, it might cost about $160,000 total, but with a $20,000 wage increase, it would take 8 years to catch up.
2. Probably around 10 years given the cost and the pay bump associated.

QUESTION 1 · Under 10 years, general · 1/1

Student responses

1. 8 years. It would give you an earning of 15-20k more a year on average and it would take about 8 years for that to add up
2. i think it would take 3-5 years
3. I think that assuming I get a job almost immediately after getting a masters, it would be paid off in under 10 years.
4. I would guess that you would catch up financially in 2-5 years because while those other people would get 2 years worth of paychecks I would guess the salary for a entry level masters vs BA would be a bit higher
5. I would imagine it would take at least 4-5 years to pay it off. We would need to consider the tuition fee, the average salary of the positions I'm finding.

Student responses

1. The starting heigh tells us the average annual pay of a job with a masters versus a bachelors degree, with the annual pay increasing each year as inflation rises with it.
2. The starting height (the intercept) is the fitted average pay in the base year. Because the model uses time = year - 2022, time = 0 is 2022, so the intercept is the line's predicted average pay in 2022. For the bachelor's line that is about 130, so roughly $130,000 in 2022.

That slow growth rate is the key number for the master's question, because the master's degree only pays off if its earnings climb faster than this bachelor's slope. A bachelor's line that rises only $607 a year is easy for a steeper master's line to overtake, which is why the gap between the two slopes decides how quickly a master's catches up.

1. bachelors: 133.695 masters: 167.115 difference: 33.42
2. For 2028, time = 2028 - 2022 = 6. Bachelor's: 130.053 + 0.607 times 6 = 130.053 + 3.642 = 133.695, so about $133,695. Master's: 158.781 + 1.389 times 6 = 158.781 + 8.334 = 167.115, so about $167,115. Difference: 167.115 - 133.695 = 33.42, so the master's group earns about $33,420 more in 2028
3. For 2028, time = 2028 − 2022 = 6. - Bachelor’s: \(130.053 + 0.607(6) = 133.695\) thousand dollars = $133,695. - Master’s: \(158.781 + 1.389(6) = 167.115\) thousand dollars = $167,115. The master’s group is forecast to earn $33,420 more per year.
4. For 2028, time = 2028 − 2022 = 6. Predicted average earnings are 130.053 + 0.607 × 6 = 133.695 thousand dollars for the bachelor’s group and 158.781 + 1.389 × 6 = 167.115 thousand dollars for the master’s group. Therefore, the master’s group is predicted to earn $33,420 more.
5. In 2028 i forecast bachelors: 130.053 + 0.607(6) = 133.695k. masters = 158.781+1.389(6) = 167.115. masters earn 33.42k more on average

1. solid is past data, dotted is future predictions
2. Solid shows the data we have for now, and the dotted line shows predictions.
3. the solid line is the model compared to data from previous years and the dotted line is the model's predictions of the future years.
4. The solid part is the data we already know, and the dotted is the expected average pay in the future.
5. The solid part shows the past trend of pay for the two lines, with the solid lines showing the line of best fit and the dots showing the actual points. THe dotted lines show the prediction of future trends for pay.
6. The solid parts are the past where we have real data, where the line is predicted by the regression model.
7. The solid parts show the data we collected and the regression line, the dotted plots show our future predictions made using that line.
8. The solid parts show the fitted regression lines over the years where we observed earnings data. The dotted parts extend those fitted lines into future years and therefore represent forecasts.

CLASS RECORD · QUESTION 9 · 1/2

The observed earnings fluctuate around the fitted lines. What does that suggest about how closely actual 2028 earnings will match our forecasts? What assumption are we making when we extend these lines?

69 anonymous responses

1. Forecasts imprecise due to variability25Student says actual 2028 earnings likely won't match forecasts exactly because observed earnings fluctuate around the fitted regression lines, implying uncertainty around point predictions.
2. Other responses13Responses the model could not place reliably.
3. Linear model may be inappropriate9Student suggests the observed pattern shows cyclical or wavelike variation, so a simple linear model might not capture the data well and could be inaccurate for forecasting.
4. Assume linear trend continues8Student explicitly states the assumption that the historical linear trend will continue unchanged into the future when extending the fitted line.

QUESTION 9 · Forecasts imprecise due to variability · 1/5

Student responses

1. Actual 2028 earnings may be above or below our forecasts, just as observed earnings fluctuate around the fitted lines. The forecasts are estimates, not exact predictions.
2. Because observed earnings fluctuate around the fitted lines, actual 2028 earnings may be above or below our forecasts. The predictions should be treated as estimates rather than exact values. Extending the lines assumes that the historical linear trends will continue through 2028.
3. I think theyll mathc up pretty well and the asusmtions we are making is that the trends wil be similar to how theyu were in the past
4. i would be confident. the Least seqaureds is small. residiuals
5. I would not expect actual 2028 earnings to match the forecast exactly because observed earnings fluctuate around the fitted regression lines. Extending the lines assumes that the historical linear trend in earnings continues into the future.
6. I wouldn't trust our regression model too much because there's variation around points, and we're extrapolating 2024 data to 2028. There could be other external factors affecting pay, like AI layoffs or deflation.

QUESTION 9 · Forecasts imprecise due to variability · 2/5

Student responses

1. it has some error
2. It suggests that the actual 2028 earnings won't entirely match forecasts, and will fluctuate around the line. We are also assuming no significant events such as covid and economic issues, or change surrounded how these degrees are valued
3. It suggests the real points may not actually be super lclose to the line. When we are extending the lines, I think we are making the assumption all points will hit the line, which isn't true.
4. Real pay might fluctuate more. Should be around the line but the line is not a reasonable assumption about what pay is going to be.
5. Since past earnings are a few thousand dollars above and below the fitted lines, actual 2028 earnings will probably miss our forecasts by a similar amount, and extending the lines assumes the same steady linear trend will continue through 2028
6. The 2028 data will also most likely fluctuate around the fitted line. We are also making assumptions that salary will not be affected by the state of the economy like interest rates, etc.

QUESTION 9 · Forecasts imprecise due to variability · 3/5

Student responses

1. The actual 2028 earnings may be different from what our model predicts. In addition, we need to consider that pay may not be forever increasing.
2. The actual earning will be similar to the expected value, but have some deviations up or down.
3. The actual earnings may be close to our predicted model but it won't be exact. When we extend these lines we assume that the societal factors that occured in the present would stay consistent.
4. The fluctuation around our line indicates the fit might not predict the future pay rates well. We are assuming the growth will be linear, which might not be true.
5. The fluctuations mean actual 2028 earnings probably won’t match the forecast exactly
6. The forecasts will not be completely matched up with our forecasts, but we are making an assumption that the earnings will be within a certain residual amount
7. The line in the graph is just the line of best fit. Flucuations in the job market and other factors can make earnings go up and down.
8. The rate of change is consistent over time

QUESTION 9 · Forecasts imprecise due to variability · 4/5

Student responses

1. The scatter around the lines means the forecast is an average, not a promise. The observed points do not sit exactly on the fitted lines,The assumption when we extend the lines is that the straight-line trend keeps holding unchanged into the future: the same slope (same yearly raise), no bend, no leveling off, and no shocks to the labor market. We are assuming the past pattern simply continues, which is exactly the kind of thing AI, a recession, or a shift in demand for these degrees could break
2. This suggests that oru prediction would be likely do differ fromm actual result. We are assuming there's no noise when making prediction
3. We assume that the previous years are indicative of the level of average growth, but with the sharp spike then decline around COVID, this might not be the case.
4. we can expect the actual 2028 earnings to be around the model's forecast, but not exactly what we predict. additionally, global events may cause changes in the trend.

QUESTION 9 · Forecasts imprecise due to variability · 5/5

Student responses

1. We should have moderate confidence in the forecast because actual earnings fluctuate around the fitted lines, so the 2028 values may not exactly match the predictions. We are assuming that the past linear trends in earnings will continue into the future.

QUESTION 9 · Other responses · 1/2

1. .
2. a lot
3. I do not think that that there will be variety in the actual resutls and what our forecasts says. The model should probably be conducted over more data so that we can get patterns where the economy is in both a boom and a recession to determine more
4. I have some confidence in it because I also believe there is a difference betwen bachelor and master
5. It's just a prediction but does hold some merit based on past data trends
6. tesy
7. That there isn't variation. Not fully accurate
8. The assumption we make is that the general trend will continue, and while it might be close to our line there's no definitive way to say if the earnings will increase or decrease in 2028. We just assumed based on previous data.
9. We are assuming that the only reason for the variance we're seeing around the fitted line is statistical noise and nothing else. There aren't even a lot of data points anyway. Because of this, it is unsure to say that the actual 2028 will match our forecasts well.

QUESTION 9 · Other responses · 2/2

Student responses

1. We are assuming that this model continues to hold true for the future. This model does not consider macroeconomic trends and the business cycle. It also does not accurately reflect trends due to COVID
2. We are expected that the income growth stays the same as it was which may not be accurate because as you grow older you can acquire promotions that drastically increase your income.
3. We don't know what might happen in the future, so these models really are just what will happen if the next years are similar to the years that have already happened.
4. we only use 5 years of past data for this plot, so it wouldnt say its the most relibale

QUESTION 9 · Linear model may be inappropriate · 1/2

Student responses

1. I think its good for estimating a salary range rather than exact, but what we can tell for sure based on past data is that masters grows more than bachelors, the exact intercept isnt really that important in my opinion, just the direction and magnitude
2. I think that the acrtual data points seem to move in waves in terms of variation, so since we are using a linear model its probably not the most accurate
3. I think there are a couple other variables that could be looked at to make this more accurate, such as the economy, COVID must have a factor, and the job growth in that expected field. I think its ok to use this as a baseline, but there are so any factors that could easily change either of these values.
4. I think there should be more factors that we should be taking into account. We need to factor in COVID, geopolitical situations, and individual performances in the workspace, and these factors might not produce a linear model.
5. It suggests that our earnings will not exactly match and will likely be higher due to a skewed linear model from COVID messingup the line of best fit

QUESTION 9 · Linear model may be inappropriate · 2/2

Student responses

1. Linear model may not be the way to go
2. The variation seen in the linear model seems very small and all dots seem close to the linear regression line so I am not worried there. But what I am worried about is assuming masters students will make the average masters salary out of college, this data may be skewed by masters grads who have been working a long time
3. This indicates that our linear regression line is not accurate enough. The trends may not perfectly predict future values. We should also consider the differences among different majors
4. We should be considering non-linear lines to better fit the data and hopefully explain some of the variance of the graph. There are many confounding variables that could be affecting our answer.

QUESTION 9 · Assume linear trend continues · 1/1

Student responses

1. there will be variation, we are making the assumption that the trend is linear and will continue linearly
2. We are assuming that the growth is linear and that growth is guaranteed, the forecast shouldnt be too far off, but it could be an overestimation
3. We are assuming that the trend will continue how is it currently going over time, which is pretty unlikely
4. We are assuming that the wages will continue to grow at the same rate. The fluctuation suggests that this is not necessarily true year-on-year
5. we are assuming the slope will stay the same, the farther out the prediction goes, the less accurate it will liekly be
6. we are assuming the trend is linear and nothing is gonna happen in the future tochange htem
7. We are only using 5 years of past data so I feel like it is less believable. We are assuming the same trend will follow for the next 5 years
8. When we extend the lines, we are assuming that the linear trend will hold, but there could be flunctuations so we could be a little bit off or way off depending on if the linearity continues.

QUESTION 9 · Assume no major economic changes · 1/2

Student responses

1. the predictions will match, but since we are assuming the conditions right now will stay the same in the future too, we can only believe it up to a certain extent.
2. There could be some variation, we are assuming that there won't be any big shifts in the economy so our trend will hold
3. There seems to be some variation around the line, so I don't trust the line exactly. Also the Covid pandemic affected job forcasts like never before. Additionally yhe introduction of AI could have a major effect
4. we are assuming no major economical issues will occur
5. We are assuming that this accounts for inflation, or depressions or outside factors. We still haven't talked about 2020-2022 the pandemic and how the trends are still impacted or not impacted by that.
6. We are making the assumption that economic and job market conditions won't change in a way that affects pay by 2028.
7. We are making the assumption that no unexpected events will occur during that time period that might shift the predictions/actual observations

1. Although there are variations amongst the lines, I believe that the predicted values would be fairly accurate, as there is a pretty obvious trend going on in the graph.
2. i would trust this graph with my life
3. This graph somewhat provides some information, but we still need to check the r and r^2 to determine the accuracy of the model. Data variability may decrease the accuracy of prediction.
4. we are assuming low variance
5. We're assuming year-over-year we have a linear increase. I believe that year over year is usually percentage based, thus exponential is the better model.
6. would be in a range of X SD, the higher the X the lower possbility that it moght appear

1. AI is like a buff. The smarter you are the better you using it, so maybe it widen the gap
2. AI may widen it as the company may want people with higher skills.
3. AI will widen the gap. People with masters degree will be in higher dfemand since bachelor degree level stuff can be done in AI, so master's pay will rise
4. I expect AI could widen the earnings gap if it complements the more specialized skills associated with master’s-level jobs.
5. I expect AI to widen the earnings gap because master’s graduates may be more likely to work in specialized, high-skill jobs that can use AI to increase productivity. This could raise their earnings faster than those of bachelor’s graduates.
6. I expect AI to widen the gap because AI is getting rid of entry level jobs and because of this, companies value those with master's more and would want to pay them more.
7. I expect AI to widen the gap, because it is likely to automate many of the routine entry level tasks that bachelor's graduates do

1. i expect it to widen as the easier jobs in different industries that are generally done by bachelor's holders will be able to be done by ai.
2. I expect it to widen because masters degree will open up more skills and networks not accesible thru just AI proficiency
3. I expect it to widen the gap because people with MS will have more specialized training and therefore AI might be worse at it compared to a BS it is simpler.
4. I expect it to widen the gap. Master's students theoretically should have more critical thinking skills to leverage AI better and produce more results
5. I expect it to widen, since a BA is more entry level, which is more easily replaced by AI than a masters
6. I expect the gap to increase with AI because firms want employees with high domain knowledge to be able to work properly with AI. Especially since AI can automate a lot of the basic stuff and leaves the heavy stuff with worker

1. I expect the gap to widen as the master's should provide skills and experience that can be replicated with AI.
2. I expect the gap to widen because jobs only requiring a BA degree may be more exposed to AI.
3. I might expect the gap to widen given that AI has potentially made just having a bachelor's degree less valuable.
4. I think it will widen because, easier white collar jobs like data entry which only require bachelors can be automated
5. I think it will widen the gap, as more of the work done by bachelors is easier offloaded to AI compared to masters
6. I think it will widen, since chatgpt can decrease a lot of the jobs for bachelors (entry level jobs), it will cause the gap between bachelors and masters to grow.
7. I think that the gap will widen as a result of AI. Masters degrees are obviously more challenging and specalized than a bachelors degree. Oftentimes, you further your technical skills, complete projects, and even research that is yet to be able to be conducted by AI so your skills may be more valiable

QUESTION 16 · Null: equal growth rates across groups · 1/4

Student responses

1. A null hypothesis would be that the two growth rates are actually about the same,
2. bachelors pay change = masters pay change positive would mean that the gap is increasing
3. beta3 = 0. In words, the gap does not change over time, the master's and bachelor's earnings grow at the same annual rate, so the gap's annual change is zero. Alternative: beta3 is not 0, the two growth rates differ. What a positive change (beta3 > 0) would mean: the master's earnings grow faster than the bachelor's each year, so the gap widens over time, master's graduates pull further ahead. A negative beta3 would mean the gap shrinks.
4. H_0: Master's slope-Bachelor's slope = 0; The master’s earnings are growing faster than bachelor’s earnings, so the earnings gap is widening over time.
5. h0: masters growth = bachelors growth, a positive change means that there is evidence for the alternate hypothesis that the gap is getting larger over time

Student responses

1. null hypothesis is there is no statistically significant gap between increases in bachleros vs masters
2. null hypothesis would be the annual masters earnings is equal to annual bachelors earnings. a positive change means gap is there
3. Null hypothesis: \(H_0:\beta_{\text{gap}}=0\). The earnings gap has no annual change, meaning bachelor’s and master’s earnings grow at the same rate.
4. Null hypothesis: the annual change in the earnings gap is 0. Equivalently, the slope for master’s earnings equals the slope for bachelor’s earnings. A positive change would mean the earnings gap is increasing over time, so master’s earnings are rising faster each year than bachelor’s earnings.
5. Null hypothesis: the growth rates are staying the same over time
6. null hypothesis: There is no difference in the annual growth rate of earnings between workers with a master's degree and workers with a bachelor's degree a positive change would be that the gap is widening

QUESTION 17 · Same earnings growth assumed · 2/6

Student responses

1. It implies that the earning growth is the same for the two degrees. We could use two different models
2. It implies that the earnings growth for both degrees is the same. We could factor in the growth rates for each.
3. It implies that the earnings growth is the same (they have the same slope). We need to allow for different slopes.
4. It implies that the earnings growth rate is the same for both
5. It implies that these two categories grow at the same rate.
6. master make more
7. pay ~ time + masters gives the two degrees different intercepts but forces them to share one slope. The masters indicator shifts the whole master's line up by a fixed amount (beta2), but time has a single coefficient (beta1) that applies to both groups. What that implies about earnings growth: it assumes both degrees' earnings grow at exactly the same rate per year. The master's line sits higher, but the two lines are parallel, so the gap between them is assumed constant over time.
8. pay increase is the same
9. same earnings growth rate (same slope). That’s why the fitted lines are parallel.

QUESTION 17 · Same earnings growth assumed · 3/6

Student responses

1. similar growth rate but masters start at higher annual pay
2. Since they are paralellel, we are assuming that the growth rates are the same. However, we still see a difference in intercept. A master's degree will provide a higher salary.

QUESTION 17 · Same earnings growth assumed · 4/6

Student responses

1. The model implies that the average salary growth for the two types of degrees does not change over time.
2. The model pay ~ time + masters assumes both degree groups have the same annual earnings growth, with different starting levels. Their lines are parallel, so the predicted earnings gap stays constant.
3. the only diff is the y-intercept, where imply ms and bs have the same earning slope
4. The shared slope means that both bachelors and masters pay are growing at the same rate,s which is not always the case.
5. The slopes are very similar but with different intercepts, implying they grow at the same rate
6. the slopes assume that the earnings grow at the same rate every year for both groups,
7. The slopes look very similar but the starting points are much different. This suggests that their growth is the same but masters has a larger starting value
8. There is no difference in the amount that their rates are changing per year and instead masters degrees just have higher intercepts
9. These lines imply that earning growth for both categories is the same they just have different intercepts

QUESTION 17 · Same earnings growth assumed · 5/6

Student responses

1. They seem to be not skyrocketing in one way but it does look like masters is ahead and will probably not get caught up by the bachelors
2. This implies that earnings grow the same way no matter what degree you have. We could instead have separate slopes for each degree type.
3. This implies that earnings growth is relatively parallel between bachelor's and master's degrees, but the initial starting pay of a master's job is higher

1. I would want to know how much the program costs, and how long it takes on average for graduates to find jobs. Today's findings do show that getting a master's degree can be good for future earning potential.
2. It confirmed by theory that getting a masters is worth it.
3. It confirmed some opinions I already had. Though now getting a masters seems more advantageous then I previously thought but the 11 year gap for it to "pay off" is really a personal decision.
4. No, i still think a higher degree can support me for getting a better job, and catch up the money back
5. Regarding today's findings, I would prefer to get a master's in data science. Not only is the gap between the two degrees increasing, but I'd be in the workforce for long enough to make that gap up. But further research into the field is obviously required.

QUESTION 20 · Earnings and long-term payoff · 3/4

Student responses

1. So on the numbers a master's in data science looks like it pays off, if you can carry the upfront cost and wait out the payoff period. What else I would want to know about the program or its graduates. Actual starting and mid-career salaries of this program's data science graduates, not the field-wide average, and job placement rate and time to first job.
2. that i need 11 years to catch up to bachelor pay
3. The data today showed me there is a true difference in pay between jobs that you can obtain with a master's vs bachelor's degree
4. The master's would be beneficial long term, but there is a short-term setback.
5. The results make me want to pursue a masters, because in the long run it would be much more beneficial with the cost being staying in school and not making money for the next 2 years
6. Today's class would lead me to continue to get a master's, however I am glad to know that it will take longer than I thought to pay off
7. Today's findings suggest that getting a master's in data science is financially worth it.

QUESTION 20 · Earnings and long-term payoff · 4/4

Student responses

1. Today's findings would encourage me to get a Master's because of the increase in pay, but I would want to know the probability of ending up in a better place with a Master's.
2. Today’s findings would make me more interested in a master’s because graduates had higher average earnings and faster earnings growth.
3. Today’s findings would make me more likely to consider a master’s degree in data science because master’s graduates tend to earn more, and the earnings gap appears to grow over time. However, I would also want to know the tuition cost, employment rate, average starting salary, and career outcomes of graduates to determine whether the degree is worth the time and cost.
4. Today's findings would make me think that in the long term, it is a financially viable decision. This was more general though and not specific towards data sicence bachelors vs masters. I would want to know their job satisfaction as well.
5. Today's findings would still infleunce me to get my masters because higher payoff later one

QUESTION 20 · Question value or overall usefulness · 1/2

Student responses

1. I do not want to do a master in ds simply since I do not want to study in school anymore. In the earing side it's also not that persuasive I think.
2. I don't think it would change anything. I'd have to commit more time into schooling and while the pay gap may be increasing, we don't have solid proof of that.
3. I don't think my decision is affected by today because it wasn't really a thourough analysis and I still think you would need to know more about the kind of program it is and what kind of job you could get afterwards.
4. I don't think the model today was strong enough to effect my decision. There are so many more variables at play that I would have to consider first.
5. I would get a masters, maybe not in data science, but the data around pay with a masters degree is convincing enough for me to get a masters.
6. I would have to know about the hiring rates for both degrees. but today would probably dissuade me from getting one, as the recoupment timeframe is really long

QUESTION 20 · Question value or overall usefulness · 2/2

Student responses

1. I would maybe lean more towards getting a masters in data science because there does seem to be a slight gap in pay widening for jobs when comparing masters and bachelors graduate, however i think the difference is too miniscule for me to fully choose the masters. each program is different and the job that i get after bachelors could still be better in the long run
2. its significant difference than just getting backehlors, but probably not enough to get one
3. Masters and bachelor earning gap is increasing but now at a very significant level for me to change my mind. I would want to know any minors or double majors too in the graduates
4. No it does not affect my decsison and I woudk want beter modeling maybe and other statistical evidences shown
5. We'd need to know if a masters in data science is actually valuable, thus we'd need this data broken down by program focus.

3. I will decide to pursue a master degree in DS. Also I want to know more details about the PhD program.

7. it didn't affect my decision but reaffirmed it, would like to now avg grad emplyment yrs out from a certain masters program

QUESTION 20 · Want detailed career outcome data · 2/2

Student responses

1. It would certainly affect my decision, because if I could get a masters at a good price, and be able to find a job after the masters, then I think it would be a good investment after seeing the results from today.
2. It wouldnt affect my decision, the r^2 was so low that it doesnt have much meaning and I would need to know more about employment rates of graduates
3. this would inform me that it is worth it to pursue a masters. id want to know the std dev of this gap and how many of grads actually get employrd nd make a positive earnings

QUESTION 20 · Brief affirmative intent or inspiration · 1/1

1. i feel inspired :). I wanna know if program helps get me a job bc lwk if it dont that would suck. Also am broke, so cost is p important
2. I learned that PHD and Masters are not much different, and that Masters is obviously better in the long run. I personally do not plan on getting a Masters, but this was a very valuable class.
3. I think i would still get a master's after a couple years. Definitely not on my dime though

7. It seems like that getting a Master's could pay off in the long term and shield you from the influence of entry-level displacement from AI etc.

QUESTION 20 · Interested in career opportunities · 1/1

Student responses

1. career opportunities
2. Confirmed that it is a fine decision, but might be better later in life after you already have work experience (might be a whole different experiment)
3. futuer career direction
4. i would want to know if i got any housing stipends, or what the rent was going to be like in that area. it would also be important to know if I would need a car, these all can lead to more expenses
5. i would want to know what the difference in available jobs are for master's vs bachelors and what the difference is for specific majors.
6. Well at the end of the day, for me at least, it is less about the salary change and more about the skills that I would obtain after getting that master's degree. Yes, salary would most likely be better for a master's degree, but it's more about the jobs that are available (how many, what they are, etc.).
7. yeah i might get a masters. like a 1yr master program type shi

QUESTION 20 · Mixed view for related field · 1/1

Student responses

1. I learned that it isn't very worth it to get a PhD unless you want to go into research or become a professor. I think it is useful to get a masters in data science, but I would still be wondering specific jobs graduates go into
2. I talked to a DS grad student and she said it would no longer be as helpfyl bc its more risky in her eyes because of AI, but maybe biostats.
3. I was considering a masters, so it didn't change my decision. I would want to know how it depends on the different type of masters that people get
4. Im looking into a degree in biostatistics, this is both good news and bad news at the same time. 10 years of recovery but awesome pay.
5. this finding suggests that master's salary would be higher and higher compared to bachleor's. I woud also need to know other things, for example tuitition change trend or occupation rate
6. Today's findings would support my decision. I would want to know more factors about the graduates through the program, maybe those who do a masters are just smarter on average.

QUESTION 20 · Emotional or unclear comment · 1/1

Student responses

1. i always knew the truth my man
2. I think it could be a good thing. It would potentially get you more money but then you have to wait way longer. The pay gap is maybe worth it but not really for a phd. I think you would rather need to see the job prosspects for your masters after a time to see if it is realy worht it
3. I will go get a master degree! Can I have a recommendation letter?
4. The general trend makes ms to earn more after certain time, but since our model is not too accrate, I still need to revise the model
5. Yes we should, cause after the presence of AI, the salary of Master degree increases these days
