I am applying for the Specialist Degree, and have pondered getting a doctorate in the future.
Personally, it was worth a lot because it gave me insight into other parts of the library world. Also, I wanted to teach at the college level some.

I probably was not clear about the pay and public schools. I worked for the city public school district, not a public university. However, the school district payed more than the 2 closest public universities that have a library school.
