The other part of the story is a Master's degree is a good segway to a career change. So what if the cost is too high. I need a career change.

I imagine that falls into the chunk that did have a positive ROI.

My wife never completed undergrad. Worked her was to director level in the insurance industry. Hated it, got a masters, pivoted to something g she likes without any real pay cut (maybe for a year or two, but she’s now earning more than she ever would have in her first career).
