If you have your PMP, was it worth it?

Does where you get your masters degree matter? I’m in an online environmental science masters program at an expensive “name-brand” school, but have colleagues telling me I should transfer to a less expensive program to save $ because no one cares about where your degree is from. Aside from the cost of it, I like my program, and the fact that I’m now connected to an incredible alumni network. And not gonna lie, I like the clout. Thoughts?

Posting on behalf of my friend.

He is a 2017 CSE graduate from Tier 1 college and is having 5 years of gap as he was preparing for upsc.
Now he wants to have a career in IT industry.

Please suggest how can he get a job?
