Is a Masters Degree worth it.
Post Body

I'm 31 years old. I'm behind on a lot of certificates. And I'll admit it took me until this year to remember why I enjoyed this career.

Tl;dr - Not being in the office with my coworkers, and able to work together to solve problems... doesn't work for me.

But things have slowly improved. I'm back to studying for certs. And after speaking with an old college professor, he re-invigorated my passion for teaching. And I've been thinking of going back to school for a master's degree. With the intent of eventually teaching when I'm older.

Outside of that fact, is it worth it to get a master's degree while working in IT. If so, what was your experience like? Did you go for a program that requires the GMAT and/or GRE? Or a program that doesn't?

Hoping to get some direction so I know I'm making the correct choice for myself.

Edit: Wow, thank you everyone :) Appreciate the responses. Apologize if I don't answer immediately.
