When I went, yes, it was worth it, but with what it costs today, it totally depends on the field of study.
Unfortunately, I don’t see “teaching” as a worthwhile field of study to pay for a degree and will give you my reasoning. My wife has been a teacher for over 20 years and went into it debt free and still could barely live off her salary. The kids she has as student teachers now have upwards of $120k in loans, and unless they marry a wealthy man, there is very little chance they will find a teaching job that pay enough to live AND pay off their debts. The numbers don’t work.
