Which is why I decided not to pay for a university education. There are tons of scholarships and grants out there, and for those looking at graduate school, plenty of schools with good reputations that are looking for graduate teaching assistants. If you're willing to teach while completing your PHD, you'll come out ahead.
I don't know if a higher degree is best for you. Just want to make sure you realize you won't be throwing money away on another piece of paper - the institution will be throwing away the money if they don't land you a job when you're done. Think it over.
