Masters Not a Good Idea

[natshar]

I was thinking about some programs where getting a masters is not a good idea unless you have enough relevant experience.

I know with teaching if you get a masters right away it can hurt because they don't want to pay you more if you don't have experience. So they will likely hire a teacher with only a Bachelor's instead.

I was thinking the same for an MBA. Because an MBA is designed for people with experience. I have "worked" for my dad who owns his own business. So that is enough "business experience" to get into the WGU MBA program. But I'm not sure that would help me get a job. I think it would hurt me because I don't have much business experience but I'd have an MBA. So companies wouldn't want to pay me as high of a salary. Then if I got a high up business job I'd need a lot more help/training then MBA grads who actually had years of experience.

Those were just my thoughts, but I wanted to know what you guys think. Is getting a masters a bad idea if you don't have experience? Could it hurt you?

Also, I have no interest in earning a masters degree in the near future (unless it was completely free). I was more just curious about what you guys thought of this.
