yeah, but depending on the district, it's sometimes only $1000-$1500, which doesn't really equate to the money and effort that goes into it.

What exactly do you want to do Jason? A lot depends on the career path you want to follow. For example, as a journalism major, nobody cares if you have a master's or doctorate, so it's really of no benefit. Other jobs like psychology and astrophysics it can make a big difference.
