The main purpose of this paper is to provide estimates of the impact of graduate school education (quantity and quality) and experience on the earnings of a sample of male electrical engineers who have attained at least some graduate school education. In spite of the growing importance of graduate education and the large number of empirical studies relating earnings to education, few studies have dealt specifically with the impact of graduate education. To the extent that the quantity and quality of education are correlated, and if quality, however defined, influences income, the returns to the quantity of education will be biased upward.
