It depends.  Some masters degrees involve only 36 credits of class work.  Going full time, one mightbe able to do that in a year.  Some masters degrees involve significantly more credits.  Others involve writing a masters thesis.  So these will take longer.  I'd say on average 2-3 years.

First, you need to go get a M.A. in Education adminstation. In today's school system, everyone wants to get a part of the higher roles. So the best advice I have for you is to get the M.A., which will take about 1-2 years, and apply. That will secure your placement.

Depends on the University and the program, they are all different and measure units differently.  Northwestern measures units as individual classes so one class equals one credit, while other schools measure a credit hour based on how many hours of class you have each week in that class and so on.  For associates typically, 60 hours, Bachelors 120 hours.  A masters depends on the program and where you go.  A lot of masters degrees are 24-30 hours beyond a Bachelors but you can't take the same amount of classes at a time.  A Ph.D. can take from 3-7 years depending on the degree and program beyond your masters.  It all depends in what and where you go.

It depends on what type of work you want to do. Masters degree adds on more money to your student loans but in certain fields is highly recommended. However, in some fields you could be viewed as overqualified with a Masters. \n\nI would suggest performing some informational interviews with individuals in your career of choice. Find out what they recommend. \n\nOh-A Bachelor's degree is 4 years of college and a Master's is one or two years of additional education PAST your Bachelor's.

It really varies quite a bit, depending on your current level of education, where you want to teach, and what you want to teach.  Some speciality areas require a masters.  Total time can range from 4 years (probably minimum) to 7 years.  If you want to teach ESL in Korea or Japan there are situations where you can get a job with just a BA, but most teaching jobs require more.  YOu may be able to get a job teachign in some countries such as China or the Czech Republic without a degree.  In Canada and the US you probably need at least two degrees for most situations - an arts or science degree (B.A. or B.Sc.) and a teaching degree (B.ED. or M.Ed.)

In the UK, to get to the level that most employees look for, it's seven years, which is split in three part including a year's work-placement between Part I and Part II. Some friends of mine in the industy, have completed their MAsters in Architecture after their Bachelors degree and still got well sought after jobs.

When you get out into the "real" world, and begin to develop a career, you will be starting from zero.  You will not have all of the subtle knowledge that involves your field of study until you actually get out there and practice it.  Rules change in the world over time, and your piece of paper, simply because you have one does not mean you will know more than someone who has no degree yet has worked in your field of study for many years.  A 4 year degree is not as prestigious as it used to be, if I were you I'd hang in there for a Masters.

The professional law program takes three years and leads to the JD (Doctor of Law) degree. A bachelor's (4-year) degree is required for admission to the program. \n\nThe Master of Laws is an advanced law degree, abbreviated LL.M., which is taken after the JD has been earned. It focuses on a specialized area of law. One of the most popular LL.M. degrees in the United States is tax law. Other common programs include environmental law, human rights law, commercial law, intellectual property law and international law. The LL.M. course usually takes one year of full-time study.\n\nBottom line - it will take you 8 years in college - 4 at the bachelor's degree level, 3 in law school, and 1 in your specialty.\n\nIf you are successful in your first year of law school you will likely do well thereafter, but you will have to continue to maintain a high level of achievement.

MBA is a masters degree in business administration. Most people pursue this degree after 3-7 years of work experience for career advancement or industry/functional-move. Usually both paths would lead to a significant pay increase.  You will also introduce yourself to a business social circle, which tends to help you with your career as well.

The only degree available in 2 years is an associates degree.  Worth having and you can usually apply your credits toward a bachelors degree at some later date.  Other than an A.A. there are several certification programs such as an E.M.T. usually these take about 1 year to complete.  Medical certificates are a good choice as well.  But you should know that workers who possess a bachelors degree or advanced Masters stand to make several hundred thousand more in their lifetime than those having less education.  It's a financial decision from start to finish and you have to really want it to succeed in business.  Good luck.

It depends on what you are going for. The Ma degrees offered in the US are NOT focused 100% on research, they combine theory and research. In the UK you can have a purely research Ma or a taught Ma but not one that combine s both. Also, Ma degrees last about 2 years in the US while its only one year in the UK.. I depends on what you want to do really... I m finshing my Ba in the UK and going to the US for my Ma.

There's little real difference.  Assuming that you're talking about an MBA, 3 or 4 years is comparatively slow.  Most MBA programs can be completed in 18 - 24 months of full-time study.  Many MBA candidates are already working and therefore take longer as they're studying part-time.  At the end of the day, there's no difference based on the amount of time taken to complete the degree.
