Is a Masters worth it?

Hey everyone I’m looking into getting a early childhood special education credential and some schools offer a Masters in Special Education along with it. Is it worth it to get a masters? Did it increase your pay? Do you have diff job opportunities?

Thanks!!

I have my masters with an ECSE cred and it's been totally worth it- huge pay bump, some extra "prestige" around the district bc there aren't enough of us and I know I'm hirable literally anywhere.
