Masters is always better than bachelors, but you usually need the bachelors before you can get into a masters program.  Sometimes schools have a 4 + 1 program where in 5 years you can earn a undergrad and masters, but its rare.

The probability that you'll get a solid career is much higher. Unfortunately, a BA just isn't enough anymore. Then again, there are lots of Ph.D's driving taxis. I think it also depends on what your career path is. In most cases though, a Masters degree will certainly work to your advantage - it's becoming the bare minimum now.

First of all, you are not right completely. More than 1% on the people in the world hold bachelors degree. I am not aware of your nationality, but there are many Bachelors degree holders in the world.\nMasters degree is not mandatory for all jobs.It depends on the position and type of job. Bachelors degree give an individual professional recognition and Masters degree gives specialisation.

You need a degree in journalism or English. Getting a Master's degree in journalism is a waste of time.

I don't agree that a person with a doctorate degree will always get a higher paying job ... it also depends on the person and how REALLY smart they are.  Book smart or school smart, doesn't really mean anything if you can't handle life situations, etc.  I wouldn't waste the extra years going for that, I think sticking with a Master's would be just fine.\n\nTrue story:  When I interviewed for my current job, my boss said she wouldn't have hired me if I had a PhD ... she was sick of people who were so proud of themselves because of something like that and didn't have the real brains to back it up!

it goes like this: you need a bachelors (which usually takes about 4 years) to get a masters. the masters programs usually are another 2 years and are more expensive than the bachelors programs were.

It's in my personal experience, and the experiences I've heard from many others that a post-secondary degree of any kind is a valuable tool.  For the first very basic reason, it shows any employer you followed through on a goal, it is an accomplishment.  It does not replace workplace experience but it does get a foot in the door.  Like anything else it is what you choose to do with it and sometimes being in the right place at the right time.\nUnlike previous generations, we will have to constantly upgrade and adapt our educations to keep us employable.  (Including trades people, business leaders, everyone.)   Education isn't something that just begins and ends, you constantly have to learn in the work environment to adapt to change.  Post-secondary education helps you "coach" you brain into doing that.\nIt won't just give you a job, but it can help.  And there has always been high competition with the masters/phd-qualified jobs.

Different universities grant different degrees based on the subject.  One school may give a Master's of Art in Education.  The next school may give a Master's of Education.  It really doesn't matter though as long as you get it.

Yes, absolutely. I know many students who've got a bachlors degree in one subject and a master's in something else. I'm going to do the same. Best of luck to you. =>

Yes, you can use the degree if it is from an accredited and recognized university.  These days, many univerisities are offerring online programs, so it should not be too hard to find one that is suitable for your program of choice.  I know several people who have taken online bachelor degree and masters programs who are doing quite well in their fields.

Sounds to me you are a great candidate for teaching.  What type of bachelors do you hold?  Have you thought about alternative certification?  For instance, if your BA is in business you can enter into a "fast track" program that provides the opportunity to earn a teaching certificate.  I am not a big fan of the program due to the absence of specialized educational/psychology /childhood development classes.  However, quality teachers are badly needed all over the country and the alternative certification program helps to meet that need.   By the way, if you land a teaching position and at the same time, return to college to earn your Masters, look into funding programs that will help or pay all of your tuition.  \n\nI am a teacher.  I wish you all the best.

the university should be accredited...geta degree in the field that you want to pursue a career in...stay away from "buy your degree" schools like online or night only schools...like that university of phoenix..or any "business" school...i wouldn't hire anyone with that on their resume...;)

Education gives you basic information so that you know enough to at least start to do the job right.\n\nExperience is what makes you into a master.

Then why in the world do you need to answer a Masters-level question?\n\nAre you returning to college, and are in your first graduate class? How can that be if you don't have a Bachelor's Degree?\n\nHave you talked to your professor(s) and your adviser about it? You can ask for sample questions with "good" answers so that you can get a feel for what they are looking for.\n\nIf you feel your basic knowledge is lagging behind because your time out of school, talk to your advisor about auditing lower level classes addressing current knowledge and skills.
