Is it worth getting my Master's degree in Communications

Is it worth getting my Master's degree in Communications?
I will soon be receiving my Bachelor's in Communications with a focus in Advertising. Now I'm debating on whether I should go straight into the workforce after college or go to Graduate School to receive my Master's. I realize that it is more common to receive an MA in some majors than others (business, etc). So, I'm basically wondering if there are clear advantages with getting an MA in Communications (ease of getting a job, better salary, etc) or some kind of related MA (possibly Management?) or if I shouldn't bother getting an MA with this Bachelor's at all. Thanks!

Thats my degree!! yeah for you!! hehe it is worth it-- but i am stopping on my BA and focusing on experience. But I am alread 26 and havent finished my BA! a lot of advertising jobs I looked into asked for M.A's so I know it would help. HOwever they also asked for experience...so if you can work on both that would be SUBLIME! You should probably decide which area you really want to get into...then research it more. I want to do advertising and PR consulting and experience is WAY more important. However if its not consulting and more Marketing, Advertising Managers and Producers then education more valuable

Go for it. Education is never a waste.

I would think that you would do better to go into the workforce and get some experience rather then more education.

You should do your masters in another field, I think majoring in English would be good, im a broadcasting major and all of the people I have met in the field have major in English bc you always need good writers .

This answer comes from inside yourself do you think what you want to do with yourself in the future will come closer to coming true if you get your masters in communications. Also in my opinion any degree is a good degree. Lastly as long as your are CURRENTLY financially able to pay for your collage education then who will hurt.

What do you want to do with the degree? I got my bachelor's in communications and eventually ended up working as a creative in advertising. It took me about 6 months to realize it wasn't really for me. While I now have it as a backup my advertising experience is basically moot. So my advice to you would be, try to think about what you want to do with your degree and try it. If you don't like it you won't have wasted another 2 years on something you don't want to do. Good luck.
