With around ten plus years experience and a BS degree, a Masters won't give me much but pride and a challenge. The other part to it is that without a masters, I'd be by far the least educated member of my family.
edit: Thanks to this post and about 2 minutes of self reflection, I'm going to do it. With these economic times a little backup won't hurt. If I'm a year into it and it isn't for me, I can always just stop. Ghost of Forums Past fucked around with this message on 11-17-2009 at 07:57 AM.

I'm on 10 week terms, 5 terms per year. Just finished Intro to Research and my Comprehensive Exam last week. Started Family Counseling this week. FWIW, I'm working on a Master's in Counseling Psychology. Not only am I the first one in my family of origin to get a Bachelor's degree, I'm trying to top it off with a Master's.

I'm taking:
Media Sales
Branding Decisions in Advertising
Media Law
Ad Copy and Layout
and a 2 week intersession course called Getting Ready to Get a Job.
I'm going to see an advisor next Monday to make sure I'm in the right classes and that everything is on track. Hopefully I will have a Bachelor's by this time next year. Ideally I'd like to work professionally in an agency for a couple of years and then maybe go back for a Master's in Mass Comm or something along those lines.

Eyewitness Identification - This is being taught by Beth Loftus, one of the top eye witness testimony researchers on the planet. I'm pretty stoked.
Peer Educators - This is more of an internship thing. We do primary preventative psychoeducation on campus.

This is just an MA program, but I am likely looking at applying...somewhere... for a PhD.

Ah cool, good luck. I waited too long to apply to grad programs this year and I got dropped for a Teach for America interview, so I'm going to be sitting on my ass all next year doing, hopefully, some research assisting at UCI and being a coordinator for the Counseling Center program I'm in right now.
