I have finished my undergraduate degree and am almost done with my Master's. I'm not sure if I want to go on for a PhD just yet. How about you?

I literally just finished school last tuesday and have earned a dual bachelors degree in business administration and accounting, it took me almost four years to complete and I am beat. However I wonder if I should go further and get a Masters. I did hear from someone in my class that if I were to go for my masters to go for something completely different than what I have already, so I'm unsure on what I would like to do, I have a few months to decide before its time for my loans to be paid back.

I just finished my Bachelor's degree about a month ago, and I'm set to start working on my Master's degree this coming fall. I don't think I'll go on to a PhD though.

I have an undergraduate degree (BFA) and I'm working on completing my Masters of Liberal Arts. I'm also not sure if I want to continue on to a PhD program. It's a lot of work, but it would be pretty cool to be able to add "Dr." in front of my name.

The highest degree I have obtained is Diploma, but I still want to get back to school, cos I want my value to be more. Still struggling to get back to school. Thanks

Let me play devil's advocate here for a minute. After obtaining all these degrees, what are you going to do to MAKE A LIVING? Don't get me wrong, I have a bachelor's degree and I do believe in higher education, however the only "benefit" I've gotten from my degree is a $30,000 and mounting student loan bill. I've heard it joked that they are many PHDs out there working at McDonalds. So I say, get all the degrees you want but consider how it is going to translate into making a living.
