My suggestion would be to follow your dreams. If you don't have kids or a debt besides student loans, you might as well- especially in a dire job market such as this one. I'd even consider a non-psych degree if there's something you'd rather do. There's no reason your grad degree needs to be the same thing as your undergrad.

I agree with everything you said. Frankly, with a Psych degree, masters or not, you are unlikely to get a job in your field, and if you do it's likely to be around $30K. If I were hellbent on getting my Masters, I'd get it in something else and upgrade to a BS.
