Almost finished with my Bachelor’s Degree in English. Should I pursue a Master's Degree if I can get an employer to pay for it or should I not bother?

It's pretty common if you teach at a public school, from what I've heard.

If you're going into teaching, a MA can have significant effect on your salary level. If you're going into business, get it in something practical like business communications or tech writing.

My Bachelor’s degree is actually in technical and professional writing, I just called it an English degree as a generalization.

I won't read threads that ask the reader to decide OP's life direction Obviously, OP needs a plan. Equally obviously he won't make one and will continue to drift like a turd going down the drain.

It really depends on how resumes ought to work. If Jane HR sees you did a master, got a job, then want a new job, she might not hire you. But if she sees you got a job, got a masters, then want a new job she might. Or it might be more absolute.
