School does mean debt, but it also, in study after study, equates to higher earnings. Just for one example, see last year's Coroflot survey: <http://www.coroflot.com/designersalary/images/education_x_field.gif> Granted, the difference there seems to be slight, but even a 5 or 10k difference means that graduate school would pay for itself after ten years. And some companies won't even look at you without one. But your career path is your career path. Weigh the pros and cons and decide where you want to be in five or ten years, and then figure out how to get the skills you'll need to get there (or once you're there).
