Probably not. College and masters programs are worthwhile. However experience is really much more important. You will get very little return for the cost if your just starting your career. Unless your college offers a discount because you already took your undergrad there. However this isn't the best because going to the same school concurrently isn't viewed as highly as separate institutions. Finally if you needed a masters as part of a job, your employed will normally contribute. Might as well save the money.

Please do not listen to these people. A Master's degree will 100% help open up job opportunities in the CJ field. Bachelor degrees are becoming more and more common, so you need to stay ahead of everyone else. Besides, you could always work in the field while getting your Master's. I work full-time in the field and I'm in school full-time. It can be done. If you want to work for the FBI, then you pretty much would need a Master's in order for them to even look at you. Trust me, a master's degree is the way to go.

No.......not in this economy........you need experience.......and........

There are thousand and thousands of talented, experience people on the street due to the economy…the competition for any job is extreme. …people will do anything for much less just to feed their kids……..I don’t expect it to get any better before 2012……sorry……
