So, I'm completing my second bachelors degree this year. I've been attending university on and off since 2014. Honestly, I'm tired, but the thought of pursuing a 1-year masters degree seems appealing to me at the same time.

I'll be 33 this year, so I'd be 34 during a masters degree program. Honestly, I'd really like to do that while I'm still relatively young, because I worry that life will prevent me from doing that as I get older (or I just won't bother later on.)

I have undergraduate degrees in history and soon sociology. I'm considering pursuing an MA in history. It's something I enjoy.

I do not like to give advice because I do not know your situation so I will pose a couple of questions that you may just want to answer on your own or if you feel like sharing here that is fine. The reason for the questions is I am always thinking of what my goals are what I am aiming for. If these questions help you define that they may answer your original question about doing an MA.

What do you hope to do with the degrees you have?

What would you do with an MA degree?

Do I need to start thinking of a career or job to support myself and save for retirement?
