D.O…

Does it matter if you have a Masters or just a Bachelors degree if youre a Doctor?

I know it matters alot in different careers, but if I earn a bachelors (the minimum degree needed for medical school) and get accepted into medical school and eventually become a Doctor, would it really matter much?

I know you’ll get higher pay with higher degrees in other careers, but is it the same for Doctors?

Other than being more educated, what else could I benefit with a Masters degree as a doctor?

I’m thinking about earning a Masters, but i’m not sure if I should do it if the only things I get out of it is a furthered education and more debt.

You are very naive, but I presume you’re still in high school. If you do earn a Bachelor’s degree and then go to med school and earn an M.D. (medical doctor) degree, NO ONE is going to care whether or not you have a Master’s degree. There IS no higher degree in the professional field of medicine. Oh, you can pick a specialty such as surgery or remain in school and study post doctorate subjects which will enhance your credentials and give you lots of paper to hang on your office wall, but you’ll be kept busy just keeping up with the constant changes in the medical field. Lots of luck!
