What is the benefit of having a degree if it is not related to your career field?

Yes, an accedited masters in any field would have started me another grade higher than with a BS. The extra pay from my current pay bump will more than pay for my masters in the first year alone. I chose psychology because it has intrinsic value to me, plus I am beginning a career in federal law enforcement. My agency does not specify a preferred major (grad or undergrad), although I know there are others out there that prefer the social sciences.
