Thanks for the advice all.
I'm looking at a Masters for the sake of teaching someday. I've always liked the idea of teaching and doing a small studio on the side. Right now I'm teaching a few classes at a local university and I really enjoy it, but it's more for fun than money since the amount of time I put into it isn't really worth what I get paid. Becoming full-time faculty would change that.
One question: Why is it better to go to school while the economy is poor? It's not like the cost of tuition goes down. Wouldn't it also make the possibility of getting an adjunct faculty position while I'm going to school more difficult? Plus, it would also mean that if I ended up moving I would get less for my house (but potentially it could also mean getting into a fairly good house somewhere else for a reasonable price).
