Further Education or Height Surgery?

[jfllcellular]

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.
