Where you live is a masters degree a requirement like it is in NY?
I would say go for TESOL but that is just my opinion. My masters is in Special Education, NY requires a masters degree within 5 years of certification, if i had a choice to wait longer i would have just because for me student loan debt built up quickly  |

Think long term, and what you want. If a degree will give you options you won't have other wise...maybe go back.  |

Thank you both! Yeah, a Master's degree is not a requirement, but you're right in the long run a Master's will be best.  |

If you have the money and want to take the time to go to classes, do it. Look at the pros and cons. IF pros win out, for sure it is a winning plan.  |

Hey there, Mayuka! Good to read you, lady. If you can swing the full time job AND continue with your education, that's what I would do. Sure, it'll be hard, but may as well get it over with. You are right, those kind of things do not get any easier as we advance in age. Best wishes to you, my friend. Write on.....  |

If you know you need a masters degree then go for it and get it out of the way. Good Luck  |

You might not be getting any younger, but you can always go back to school. I would save first and try to limit and avoid debt is possible to go back to school?  |

Yes, I've been looking into getting scholarships, fellowships or even teaching at the university I'd be earning my Master's in. Thank you. I definitely don't want to accrue more student loan debt. My current bf is earning his PHD and he's given me a lot of info on how to further my education without taking out loans. Thanks! That's part of why I'm encouraged to get the education. |

Well, does it depend if you need a masters to teach? If not maybe wait before making a big decision. Student debt is awful.  |
