There are statistics that suggest this rule of thumb doesn't necessarily apply for some liberal arts degrees, but on the other hand there are many graduates with master's degrees that got into lucrative careers because of their graduate status. An M.A. in English or graphic arts can lead to careers in communications or advertising. For the following categories there is little doubt about the financial advantages of graduate education.
