Thanks so much! As of now, I am thinking I am definitely going to get my master's simply because of the pay difference simply by having some extra letters behind my name.
I'd love to teach someday, but I think I will wait on PhD.
Do you recommend taking a few years to work before going to get your master's? I am from North Carolina, so my first choice would be UNC Chapel Hill, which has a great J-School, but they prefer students to have worked a few years before applying.
What do you think?
