PSA: Master's of rhetoric, at least.

The New York Times is currently discussing master's degrees, and how people feel about having gotten them after they've gotten them.

Very timely for me, I'd say, and I suppose the horror stories should give me (even more) pause. But like Obama, who thought nuclear disarmament was possible back in college, I'm a naive, head-in-the-clouds intellectual. I'm going to go with the "totally worth it" crowd -- at least to the tune of one year's salary in my current field, which is what the experts say is feasible.

And maybe I'll end up as president.
