Thanks Bunches Steve,
I was chatting with a colleague yesterday (who has a master's and is in my field). She agreed that in my case the MEd might make the most sense if I end up pursuing a master's at all. She said of all the jobs she's applied for since she got her master's degree, there were a total of two where it mattered and might have given her an edge. At this point I might get called on more interviews if I had a master's degree, but even that seems to be a crap shoot. Given that (and my current unemployment situation) I think I'll stick to my new plan that if an employer wants to pay me to get a master's degree I will--and will let them determine which degree to get. Sorry to have troubled you all, but many thanks for your help. I appreciate it more than I can say.
Happy new year!
