[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would do informational interviews with people in the field to see if this degree is worth the money and time.  This is a big money-making deal for colleges -- convincing people they need to go back and get a masters for their careers but then it turns out to not be all that useful.  If  you go and talk to people out there in the field you're interested in and they think it would help you, then I would go for it.  But you shouldn't spend the money at this time in your life if it isn't going to aid your career.  Maybe later on.[/quote]Pp again.  I should add that it's prestigious schools who are marketing their name to bring in the bucks for these masters degree.  A friend of mine is finishing a masters at Georgetown in international development and she feels like it's not very helpful and that she got sucked in by the name.  So be careful about falling for a prestigious name.  Make sure it's something that has a real chance of helping you.[/quote]

This.  Find out whether the degree is really important in the field or not, let alone the prestige of the school.  Sometimes it really is just a waste of money for a credential that won't help you at all.  [/quote]

Even if the school is a big name?  [b]Prestige by association?[/b][/quote]

It doesn't really work that way.  If you are paying for the name and only the name, you cannot expect much if anything in the way of returns.[/quote]
