Masters or straight into teaching?

Hi Everyone,

So my question is pretty much what you've already seen in the title of this post. Once I graduate, am I best just going straight into a job (or trying to at least), or should I consider a masters?

I am training to be a secondary maths teacher and I am currently in my second year of a Secondary Maths Education degree with QTS. This means, I won't need to do a PGCE at the end of the degree.

I really do want to do a masters to increase my knowledge and skill etc, but I'm not sure if it's worth it in comparison to hands on experience?

I'e also thought about doing the masters part time. That way I'd be able to get the best of both worlds, but I don't know if I'll be able to handle being an NQT and a masters.

Any advice would be brill.

Thanks

Have no experience of teaching courses or the teaching sector, however, plenty of people have full time jobs and undertake masters degrees P/T. It is definitely more than manageable if you wanted to go down that route.
