<prompt> Human: Recently Ive completed a Masters Degree in my profession. My employer approved it and helped pay tuition for it. Now, after years of hard work, I simply see my Transcripts siting there idly on my dresser.At this point, should I be discussing it with my manager about any compensation bump for adding value to them by educating myself further? Or Should I expect nothing and begin searching for a new position elsewhere?It just seems like theyd want to retain the value they put into my position, instead of assisting me to pay for the degree and then I split?What do you think?  <response>: You need to have had a reason for the degree. Either a new position at your current job required it, you gained new skills to create a new position yourself, or you need a new job. You dont get a raise generally for the same job just because you paid for a degree... The degree just allows you the skills to move up.
