I just counted 14 people that I know who did a master's degree. Almost all of them in the Engineering, math or Comp Sci fields.
None of those people paid to do it. I wasn't aware that anyone actually paid to do a Masters. I always assumed that grants, scholarships, fellowships and research dollars paid for a masters.
Do people, outside of an MBA*, actually pay for their Masters degree?
Not sure what that has to do with the article, but...
Yes, it's pretty common to pay for a master's. A lot of departments will only fund PhD students (automatically). Master's only people usually have to "pay their own way", although that might consist of finding their own research or teaching assistantship, etc.
