Wheather it's `worth' it or not depends on a lot. Assuming you're paying for gradschool and aren't going on a research grant the answer is no, just learn the skills you need on your own and go get a better job. However, I'd ignore the money and ask yourself if your time is more important than your desire to return to school. If the answer is yes, don't go, but if you really want to go back, the answer is go for it. tl;dr: Do what makes you happy (if you can afford it).
