u dont necessarily have to do a masters or even a degree to be educated.
But educaiton does matter in a lot of fields. Experience does as well… but ur education in some fields is a huge huge bonus
take for example.. if u want to becoem an aerospace engineer… u cant just expect someones experience is gonna make them that. You do need to go through the hard yards and earn that degree to follow that profesison,.
But when it comes to IT… you dont necessarily have to have the degree to get a good job. Having said that, once you’ve got ur foot in the door.. or are desperately trying to get their foot in… u do need some kind of education and dedication to get to the next step
