Is this a good time to study for a masters degree? I ask for opinion of anyone who has one or plans to get one. How did you know you were ready for it? How long did it take? How did you finance your study? I realize I have to earn a masters degree to work in admissions, student finance, or the registrar’s office at most major universities. I need one to make myself marketable for positions.

I am workin and wanted to study Finance(need not be MBA also)

Since i am workin i can do only part time study.Also i want the study period shld be short since i will be here only for a year
i want to study in a college so that i can make some friends too.Also i dont like online universities since it will not have a strong foundation and curriculum as other universities have.

I want to know the fee comparisons of different universities which offer GCAF,Graduate Certificate in Applied Finance.Please help me out.
