I've recently been accepted into a Masters program to study Higher Education and Administration, and I'm wondering if the degree is worth it? I already have a masters in Secondary Education, and have been a secondary teacher for 4 years. I'm ready to transition into a college academic advising, student success, or career advising role. I'm willing to take an available position that might not be related to these just to get my foot in the door, and gain experience needed that will equip me for more desirable roles in the future. I'm just ready to move on from the high school environment, but sincerely passionate about supporting young adults in higher level education. I've read that you don't necessarily need a masters in a particular field to work in higher education, but have also come across hiring managers who say they don't even consider hiring applicants who do not have a MA in Higher Ed. I've been applying for lower level positions at my local colleges/universities but I'm hoping a masters in High Ed will give me the competitive advantage needed to have a real opportunity. (I'm also considering a degree for high school counseling. Higher job demand, better pay, and opportunity to support students in smaller groups.. but I feel I've already committed to moving on from the high school setting). Please let me know your thoughts, any feedback is well appreciated!
Thank you!
