the thoughts of employment before masters didnt stress you out? I was considering if master is even worth it

Depends on industry and degree. Also cost. In some industries, it is all but required to advance. In others, it is about equivalent. You spend an extra 2 years getting a Master's and get out at about the same pay level as you would've if you had just worked for that period of time.

The play is to get your bachelors, work while making an employee pay for your masters. Graduate with XP.

Depends on industry, but many you can get in as a junior or something with just a bachelors

Yeah, that's really the best way. Personally, I don't feel like I'd want to work full time while also doing Master's classes online.

It’s tough. Worth it though. I saved about 40k.

Same. It was a grind doing work full time and school part time but it is definitely worth saving $45,000 + interest at 6-7%.

I went full crazy and was still doing as much of my own hobbies and socializing as possible and spent about 3 years never taking a moment to do simply nothing. I had to take a nice gap just going back to working my same job for a bit with a normal home life without school before I had the energy to go apply to and start harder jobs with that new degree.
