Comparing masters level commitment across professions

Sometimes I get so down about the fake narrative I was sold and how much time I put in, money and effort, etc compared to some of my friends who have much higher paying, low demanding, upward moving jobs… it got me thinking which other professional programs require so many hours for a master as well do not allow time for working?

I’ve been considering going back to school and most programs I’ve been interested in are ~40 hours and allow for full time work. My sister is an FNP & as able to work full time, husband got his MBA working full time, all teachers get their masters while working full time.

What other masters programs/degrees requires limited working abilities? PA maybe?

ETA: definitely more ROI for PA.

I was just so young and didnt even realize what a hole I was digging myself :(

Just wanted to rant a little and share something I’ve been thinking of!
