<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

Just wanted to ask all you redditors out there.  I am having to make a pretty life changing decision soon, and I know you all can maybe bring something to my mind that I may have missed.

I have the option to take a technician job that would most likely lead to a graduate position in 2013 (doing work on an endangered species that may go buh bye in 10-15 years along with the need for my expertise). Pay is about 1/8th what I could make on my own without the masters at this time.  While I have always wanted a masters, it seems that I really dont NEED one right now, but maybe in the future.  

OR

Take a break from work, and travel the world.  I have saved up enough cash to maybe take a 1 year adventure in South America or India.  Both are life changers, but I wanted to see what others thought.

I am somewhat leaning toward just working and traveling (I am only 25, so do it while you can?).  The pay at work is crazy nice and would allow me to build up a nest egg like you wouldn't believe.
<bot>: Go to school and life in poverty again for 3 years, but accomplishing a life goal or work and travel the world, also accomplishing a life goal.
