I don't event get PhD or bellow)

As someone who works in industry, I regret going to grad school at all. It didn't do anything at all to further my career. I know people with PhDs too and all it did was bump their initial salary by a few years worth of raises (but at the cost of spending even longer getting their PhD). Unless you're going into research, I would say just starting working as soon as possible.
