Getting your degree might not help during the worst of the recession, but I'm 
sure it will be extremely valuable once there are some jobs -- you'll move 
right up to the short list.

If you get your masters degree, then you can teach college classes too. A lot 
of older people with masters degrees teach college classes because that's the 
only place a technologist doesn't experience age discrimination, and also 
it's the only place where you're not required to work 60 hours a week and be 
on call the rest of the time.

Getting your degree is an excellent idea, in my opinion.
