Is it worth it to go to school to earn my Masters in Marketing

Is it worth it to go to school to earn my Masters in Marketing?
I recently graduated from FIT with my BA in Advertising and Marketing. There is absolutely no jobs on the market and most company's have a hiring freeze. I am debating going back to school and was wondering if it is worth the time money and energy to go to Baruch to get my Masters in Marketing. I was also thinking about possible going for my MBA in Business but I am not so sure if I have the drive to be in school for as long as it will take to complete the MBA. Does anyone here any knowledge of how the market is for those who graduated with a Masters in Marketing and the difference is for them when they hit the job market? If anyone here also has any info about their time at Baruch that would also be appreciated.

No, if you know the basics, build up your rep. Kind of like psychologists, even if your the smartest of your kind in psychology, you need reputation for people to come to you. In your case, corporations would respect you more with more experience and good recommendations. [also of seeing the things you've done and how good it is]. Just wait until you find a job, it'll take a while in todays economy but school will just get you farther down the road of debt.

The previous poster is correct in that it's better to get actual work experience going instead of just continuing to go to school. This is especially relevant for business graduates such as in Marketing or Finance or Accounting and so on. Companies want someone who has mixed in real business world experience rather than someone who is overqualified in schooling. Also most MBA programs look for real world business experience within their candidates too. Yes you can possibly get a better salary and recognition with an MBA or a Masters in Marketing, but in business nothing is as solid as actual experience. And I know it's a catch-22 situation here. You're trying to get your career started in order to build said experience, companies are only hiring someone with ready experience. The best thing is to just continue looking and eventually a company will hire you. Plus there are plenty of places like Bank of America, IBM, Dell, Citibank etc that hire students straight of college to put them into special "post-grad" positions, where they're specifically trained by the company to eventually get put into a mid-level type job role. This would be perfect for your situation.
