it depends what field you want to go into...granted higher degrees usually equal higher pay..

but for instance, i want to go into law enforcement. a masters in law enforcement i hear would make you overqualified for the job, and it would be tough to get one because they dont want to pay you. but later down the line i would want to teach at a college criminal justice so im going to go for it.

also if you land a job, sometimes employers will pay for a higher degree
