Since nobody else has responded, I’ll give you my opinion. I am a lifelong learner. I love to read, especially nonfiction. I have two masters degrees: one in engineering (MS) and one in teaching (MA). The engineering program was chosen for the same reasons you are contemplating right now. The teaching degree was a mid-life decision that was done for more altruistic reasons. I enjoyed (and suffered) through both programs, and they both changed the way I see things, improved the way I think, and helped me to learn new ways of solving problems and conveying my thoughts and ideas. I learned that advanced education and college degrees are not really about your resume and they won’t guarantee you more money. I believe they are a life experience for you to enjoy and to benefit from intellectually. That experience may translate into better performance at work, or in improving your confidence and maturity, and that in turn may result in new opportunities in your career. Good luck and I hope this helps.
