You say you already have student loans and you would have to go "forever" to get a psych degree and Masters. Sometimes psych majors even with a Masters do not make much money per year. If you are going to be 100K+ in student loan debt and only going to earn 27K a year as a school counselor that may not be a choice you want to make. I know everyone always says sure go to more and more and more school screw money. In some cases, I agree. In other cases, I think you have to consider earning potential and total debt. If your finances are solid and you don't have that many student loans and you can work out a program where it won't cost you that much I say go for it.Isnt the OP in Europe? I dont know if she is going to be owing 100k after school. Maybe a Masters degree in her part of EU is enough to do what she wants to do whereas in the US you cant really do crap with a psych MA in many states. That is why I said she needs to consider her PERSONAL situation according to debt and future earning potential. She may decide that in her situation it is worth it even though she already has student loans and would take a long time to get a Masters. I think that is important for everyone to do rather than just throwing yourself into it without consideration. That may seem like common sense, but so many people never, ever think about it.
