Professionals & career change
Should I study abroad if I already earn a good salary in India?
Compare the specific capability or access gained with the earnings, progression and benefits you would forgo. A high current salary increases the opportunity cost but does not decide the question alone. Test realistic career improvement and a return scenario. The degree should solve a meaningful problem that a lower-cost route does not solve as well.
