Educating a survey

In recent years, more than a third of MSP Salary Survey respondents said their highest level of education was a high school diploma. However, In the 2014 edition, that percentage dropped dramatically, to 9.1%.

Was there a rush for college degrees during the past year? Probably not. Although the level of education does seem to be trending up slowly, the 2014 survey results showed no huge uptick in respondents with associates or bachelor degrees. The answer might be found in the options we provided  this year. For the first time, respondents could select “some college” instead of either a high school diploma or a college degree. The new choice garnered a 31% response and provides a more accurate picture of MSPs’ education.
