Master's difficult/expensive to get?

[Kev]

One approach I wish more would take when searching out their degree path would be reverse-engineering their end game. Here's a couple of key questions:

What do you want to be/do for your career?

-Does your current degree choice create a significant advantage for achieving that goal?
Yes, definitely. Everything is structured for this.

-Can you enter the career field now and establish work experience (leverage) relationships (best leverage) while starting a Masters program?
Yes, I am currently working as a freelancer, but need the papers (degrees).

-Is the least expensive degree enough? If Yes - Easy Choice #1! Does a local school create a greater value in the long run? Easy Choice #2! Do you have access to school tuition through your work? If Yes - Lucky - Use It ASAP - Easy Choice #1/2/3!
I would definitely prefer cheapest, but I do want to study the English degree courses, which will be very useful for the job and personal projects.

If you're checking a box with your Master, there are much easier and more valuable options out there other than an English degree.
Well, the master's would be for proving competencies/knowledge, but I am actually interested in the material. I think a master's also takes more effort to get, where you need to study the classes more as well? 

Yes, that's the approach I'm trying to take. I replied in bold to your questions in your quoted post.
