Continuing your education at 26... worth it or no?

Education is worth it, depending on what you take.

I graduated in 2008 with a History degree and a minor in geography and I'm lucky enough to get a corporate job. However, I want to be where the money is at and where there are more concrete opportunities for growth in my career.

I'm turnng 26 in August (so I'm basically 26).

I have the cookie cutter goals of buying my own home, which I can do now, but it will be a struggle on my own etc.. so if I can pursue a career change with another piece of paper (degree) and it can help with my income, that will be a step up - but I fear I will be investing time and money that I could better spend on saving up more money etc.

Have you experienced this dilemma at any point in your life (specifically when you're older), and what did you do...

Update:

I was considering an undergrad (Bachelors) in Business Finance, but my friend is saying there's no point in pursuing another Ba when I have one and to get a Masters in Business (Finance) instead.

So confusing..
