Why Doctoral Degrees Add Up

It's no big secret that doctoral degrees open career doors that remain firmly locked for those with master's degrees or lower. Some professions require them, while others reward them handsomely with tremendous advancement potential, job flexibility, and, of course, more money. In fact, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, doctoral degree holders earn nearly $28,000 more each year than those with master's degrees alone, and nearly $40,000 more than those with bachelor's degrees. Lifetime earnings can exceed $3.4 million, making your initial investment of time and money worthwhile.
