Great advice. You don't want to go through a Master's program and pile on a lot of debt for a degree you may not use.

I have a Master's in Computer Science from Villanova. I use the info pretty frequently, but I am probably a bit of a special case because I got a full ride to go there.

I wouldn't drop down any money or take out a loan until you have a plan of what you want to do with the degree. Otherwise it's a double edged sword- 1, you now have a lot of debt, and 2, the time you spent studying/in class was not time spent working. So if you don't use it you actually spent MORE money than just tuition.
