Do you think a graduate degree would benefit you? If so, in what area? Why? Academic-oriented, so you can teach in college, or business-oriented, such as an MBA?

I absolutely think a graduate degree has benefits (I'm currently in grad school.) I've learned much more at the graduate level than undergrad. I want to teach at the collegiate level so my degree is academically-oriented.

Yes, I guess if you're in grad school, you would think it was a good thing. LOL! If you want to teach college, then yep, I would agree with you. Since that's what I do, I would say so too. Do you think you'll have a hard time finding a job? I know the job market for tenure-track positions has vicious competition. I've never really tried for tenure.

I think it will be difficult, especially in my field. So what do you teach?
