Yeah, what they've said. Getting work with a BA is possible, but you'll have to start on a lower position. And if you want to get into research or academic position, you'll need atleast masters degree. I'm in a kind of similar situation myself. I'm currently employed pretty nicely, doing freelance jobs when I need the cash while studying. I know I could drop my studies now and just get a full-time position in some company, even got a few to choose from since I've been a good little slave. I could make good money and live off nicely.
However, I know that not getting the degree will limit my choices atleast in the early stages of my career and as I've been thinking of working in the research field, I know I'll need my masters at that point. For me, taking a break isn't really an option since I know that if I take a break now, I'll most likely never finish my studies. Also, if the company you work for gets into trouble and lays off people, who do you think will go first (assuming that both are relatively new to the company), the BA or the MBA?
