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.

OK. I get your point, but I don't care that much about the money. If the (time) input amortizes, I'm fine, if not, then not. Like I said, it would be more a "pasttime", so I don't care, if I know this language perfect afterwards. The mentioned contacts aspect is a fact.
