For a master's in computer science at the University of Alberta the per year tuition fee is around CAD 38,980 (INR 2,319,168.73) & the average living cost per year is around CAD 8,455 (INR 503,041.86), so your total per year cost comes around CAD 47,405 (INR 2,830,146.76). At the University of Toronto, the average tuition is around CAD 39,967 (INR 2,386,087.45) & the average living cost is around CAD 16,560 (INR 988,655.85), so your total per year cost comes to around CAD 56,527 (INR 3,374,743.30).

Hi. I agree with logic is valid in India also. With MBA you get better career prospects (Financially). But if you have orientation for helping the community and development sector you can go with MSW. You can get anywhere between 3035 K pm as starting salary if got MSW from premier institute and it can go upto 11.2 Lacs+ in 78 years. Crossing 1.25 Lacs pm is big barrier in 78 years while in case of MBA is quite easy in 34 years only. Plus, if you do MBA with HR or option also available with Rural Marketing/Rural Management and other social sectors specializations you can pursue your passion in Rural Development and CSR sector easily. But again, salary can be compared as: You will not get salary as lucrative as some of your corporate friends. Definitely you will also not in bottom 60% of pay pyramid. Getting job and early growth is easy in CSR and NGOs, but at higher level there is difficulty to cross certain barriers as there are lot less opportunities at top compared to corporate world. But you get lot more satisfying and meaningful job. You get peace of mind and contentedness of doing something good. Choice is yours! Good Luck!

First thing to realize is that an M.Sc. Is almost never worth it financially. Your starting salary may be slightly higher, but people who worked for a year would probably have gotten a raise anyways, and would be at the same level when you start 1 year later. Also, they just spent the past year earning money, instead of spending money. This is especially important when you are young. A euro 100000 difference (their salary, plus your opportunity cost, and tuition) when you are in your early twenties will be worth about euro 1M by the time you retire. You will most likely never make it back. If you want to do it, you should be very honest with yourself and make sure money is not the reason you are doing it.
