What level of education do you have?

I want to further my education (I just have a bachelor degree) in data analytics.

The hard part is that I want to do it in-person and not online. A masters degree is so fricking expensive. The least expensive option is $18k but I don’t like the program as much.

I’m considering a $6k “certificate” option from a prestigious school. I don’t know if certificates are even looked at by HR.

What have you done in your career? Gotten that masters right away? Worked at it part time in your career? Doing just fine at your current education level?

I'd be really wary of any place that gives you a qualification on the cheap. I think there are a lot of scams out there and unless you've been to common sense (sorry sence) school like the other gentleman on this post it's easy to get taken in.

I don't mean this in a patronising way because I know you've got your wits about you, but a lot of these places are completely legit...until you present the certificate to an employer and they ask "what the fuck is this?"
