If you want to get a degree, make sure that it supports your personal goals and mission. Better yet, if you are going to finance the degree through debt, make sure that there's a payoff at the end of the day.

Employers are interested in how you financed your education, if you just financed it with loans instead of working part-time, that's a big strike against the applicant.

If you financed six years of partying, that's a strike against you. If you financed the degree in order to finish in three years and get a one-year accelerated masters using the fourth year, that works in your favor, now doesn't it?
