Opportunity cost should definitely be a big factor in any decision, but I don't necessarily agree that statement. Credentials still matter these days and sometimes, you need that extra credential to open more doors.

If I spend 15K in whatever (another degree or certification) and it results in opportunities that could earn me 15-20K per year over 10 years, well, it's not hard to see the return.
