Your pay is actually based on Experience! When you look online for jobs, there's a field that says PAY: BOE ... "Based On Experience"

The only other situation i can think of where this might actually help you is in the education field itself. Teachers ARE compensated based on titles. Not much more, but it does go up if you get a higher degree.
I agree with that no doubt, but education can sometimes be substituted for experience.

There are no PEs in my industry, so I wouldn't be able to work under one for the 4-year requirement.
