Good idea if:
- You can afford it financially (Graduate Research Assistants).
- Your area of study for undergrad will require a grad. degree at some point.
- If a Master's (or whatever you are going for) will result in a better job/pay raise.

Not a good idea if:
- You have enough student loans as is.
- Your main reason is to "avoid the real world." - I hear this one a lot.

I was thinking about getting my IT certifications too, I've done a couple IT internships.

Get those. Some hold up more than a degree.

I'm graduating next year (hopefully) and I'm kind of scared for the future. I'm most likely going to teach English in another country though, butI'm not positive about that yet.
