Statistically. Totally depends on your area of study.
If you are business or science or Komputors, you are fine. If you are in the Humanities, Arts and the like, you are only slightly better off in my experience.
For example, to work as a librarian in my city, one needs a Master's in library science and 5 years' experience to make the exact same wage I make now (without any student loan debt to pay off and having been able to buy my own house). That is just one example. The vast majority of my friends have degrees, and we all make basically the same amount of income. My wife has less education than I do and makes several dollars more per hour.
The people I know who have done very well financially are ALL shadetree computer tech types, and if they have degrees they are not degrees in computer science.
