I know, it's not indispensable to go to University, when you want to learn a language. But I'm also interested in History, Geography etc of the particular country, and you also get this at the Uni. Furthermore, I just like the University. And with a degree in hands I eventually could earn a few extra bucks through translating .... ? Who knows. Or even become a certified court interpreter ... ?
So what have you studied respectively are studying and where? You think a degree from law school wouldn't mean more income? Hm.
Thanks for your contribution. As a thank you get a phrase you already might know: Impossibilium nulla est obligatio (you cannot agree something impossible. Not very exciting, I know. Just like jurists in general. Dry and correct.

No, I don't mean Law School. That could mean money, although where I am there are a lot more attorneys than needed and many work in different fields.
I did a few postgraduate courses, which helped my income but a proper MA (even if free, which is a possibility) would not improve anything in my profession, because it's all about contacts and not degrees. There's good and bad sides to that, but I'd have to work a lot less to have time for a Master's Degree and I can't afford to not make money.
I'm a translator/interpreter/copywriter. And I can honestly tell you I don't know ONE person who has learnt a foreign language properly at university. Also, if you care about money I wouldn't recommend that career.
