<prompt> Human: Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster here, the advice here is usually great, so I thought Id ask. Im currently 3 years into my marketing career and in my mid 20s, and am considering going for my masters. My company provides 5kyear towards tuition reimbursement. After looking into pricing options, I can either take 1 class per year at a good school and graduate in 10 years, or take 2 classes per year at an average school and graduate in 5. This all stems from the fact that I dont want to pay out of pocket for any classes. Whats the better option to go with? Thanks in advance!Edit: thank you all for your responses! Theres definitely a few things I hadnt previously considered, but general consensus seems to be to go for a 3 year timeframe, with the schools quality depending on what I want to get out of the degree. Thanks again!  <response>: It all depends on what you want from your degree. Do you want just more knowledge and some more doors opened? Or are you chasing a CEO job and expect to compete for the best jobs in your city? If you just want more knowledge and doors opened, go with the cheaper program. If youre truly going to be applying at places with cutthroat competition, then it might be worth paying more for the name than the degree. But if youre not doing that, it really doesnt matter where you go for most fields.As someone else mentioned, you need to look into this a bit more than you have. Id be shocked if theres a program that will let you take classes and graduate over a 10 year period.
