Hmmm. I have a masters in marine biology. It's a field with no jobs in it, even when the economy isn't in the crapper. I don't wish I'd done something different, but I do wish that basic science research were more valued, such that funding for it would skyrocket, preferably in the extreme near future so I can find a job. :)
If I went back to school and wanted to stick with my current field, I'd have to get a PhD in it. Then I'd be able to go for jobs where I have to acquire my share of the limited funds, so that I could pay for myself as well as my work. I hadn't done that in the past because I don't want that kind of stress - better to help someone else with their research and let them worry about how to pay me. (Until they lay me off, that is. >.> )
