How useful is a master's degree in international relations/business (or just in general)


How useful is a master's degree in international relations/business (or just in general)?
I'm considering pursuing a masters in international relations or business (probably business) after taking a year or so off from school. (Taking the year off because I am applying to law schools but realized that I probably won't be able to go without being drowned in loans and job prospects aren't as good as I thought. Don't have the time or money to do last minute master's applications and GRE.) How useful would a masters in international business be? Is it worth the time and money?

Well, its tough to say very much since I don't know anything about you and your ambitions. But I can tell you about my experiences. I'm going for a masters in aeronautical and astronautical engineering during night school, but I don't think I'll get a pay raise or better jobs because of it. I hope so - its a lot of work - but I haven't found anything that gives me much hope. So I'm not sure you'll see a lot more success with a masters in international business. I think employers are more concerned with work experience than education (after B.S. degree) so they don't value education as much. On the other hand, you may really enjoy getting a masters degree and that's valuable in its own right. Good luck!
