<prompt> Human: So my fiancé f 28 wants to start a master of arts in liberal studies at Denver University for around 30 k, and I am wondering if this program makes sense in our situation. She has been stuck in a rut working as a preschool teacher making just over 12 dollars an hour for the last four years and has been trying to find a job outside of it the entire time. The problem is she wants to do something art related and has not heard back from anything shes applied too. She graduated with a degree in Dance, so besides teaching preschool she has had a hard time finding work. She also cant move up to older children because she doesnt actually have a education degree. She is thinking that this masters degree to help the resume and get her out of her situation. Does this make sense?On the one hand I dont know if this program is a good idea because its a degree with no career path in mind.On the other hand being a dance major shes limited a bit, so maybe this could boost her to something better.I make close to six figures in the medical field with good room for advancement if that changes anything.Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit for this.Tldr; fiancé is looking at getting loans for a masters because shes stuck in low income job and Im wondering if this is the best path for her.  <response>: Does she like teaching? Getting an MA in Education can lead to education related jobs. Teachers who are creative make some of the best teachers out there. She wont make a lot of money but certainly more than 12 an hour. She may even do better if she chooses an in-demand specialty or something that she can tutor as well.
