I have two undergrad degrees. The first I did when I was in my 'doctor' phase, as well. It was an advanced major in biology with a minor in physics. I met my husband towards the end of it and had a complete change of heart about my career goal. I wanted a job that would enable me to be a part-time stay-at-home-mom, not a job that consumed my life! My second undergrad was in nursing and, while I didn't really enjoy parts of it, it lead to a great job. I took 10 years to learn, grow and excel at my job before seriously considering the return to school. I did my masters with a job in mind (nurse practitioner). It was imperative that I had a goal, because school with two small kids is no walk in the park!
I agree with what has been stated above... a graduate degree should be undertaken with a career or job in mind. It requires an undergrad beforehand, and I can attest to the benefit of taking your time and figuring out what your goal is before beginning studies.
I really enjoyed my masters program. Can't even compare it to the impersonal, cattle-through-the-gate experience with my first degree or the more-is-better philosophy of my nursing undergrad. The classes were small and the professors took a vested interest in their students.
Good luck with your studies!! I am taking at least 10 years before I revisit the idea of a PhD. My husband was yelling "Uncle!" by the end of my program and my kids were fed up. I can't do it to them right away.
