| lifeisbetteredited | Posted – 7/8/2008 7:51:06 PM | show profile This is a frequently asked question - just this past week another person asked it in the thread "Will a Masters Degree Hinder my Career?" Run a search for it and you'll find a lot of advice on this topic already. |

Especially in publishing, unless you wanted to teach, then you would most likely need it. The way to move up in that field and earn more money is by working and gaining experience. I would save the money. |
