Master's Degree

Direct cost: $62,820 Indirect cost (including lost wages): $133,200

Total cost: $196,000 Annual earnings increase: $13,600


Height Surgery (6cm)​

Direct cost: $50,000 Indirect cost (including lost wages): $20,000

Total cost: $70,000 Annual earnings increase: $6,000

Comparison​

Height surgery costs 64% less ($70k vs $196k) and takes a fraction of the time to recover from, but yields less than half the annual earnings increase ($6k vs $13.6k).


However the break-even on a master's degree is ~14 years, while height surgery breaks even in ~12 years — making height surgery the slightly better pure financial investment, before accounting for the non-monetary social, dating, and confidence benefits of height.

This information is using averages, comparisons may differ per person.

Don't cry in comments that info isn't accurate cus you can get masters for cheap or height surgery for cheap.

This focuses on the height premium per cm which is an average of around. 1000 per cm

idk it's just funny cause i see balding manlet men in college talking about getting in large amounts of student debt to get a master's degree for their career.

At least surgery loans are dischargeable in personal bankruptcy, unlike student loans lol.
 
You’ll be oldcel and broke by the time you finish either so it’s rip either way tbh

Trust fund Chad from birth maxx or it’s over
