I finish my degree in the spring, and I'd like to go for my masters, but I'm a little burned out on college right now. Should I take a break, and risk not going back, or should I go on, and get it over with?

You should continue with your masters, you have got summer vacations to enjoy. If you get a job now and join masters as part- time that will also be good. But dont waste yout time.. doing nothing!

Take a break!
I am done next spring as well, but I will doing some traveling and then come back to help out with student teams and stuff before starting work. I can't take a long break though because I already have so much debt on my back. So, enjoy another summer while you can, stress is not good for anyone. Relax, let your brain cool down.

Take a break to recharge, travel, do whatever you want to do AND get a better idea of what you want from life in general. If you do go back to do your master afterwards, you'll know for sure that it's what you want. If you don't go back and do it, it'll be because you decided it wasn't the right time.
Good luck.

Some jobs pay for schooling for you to get your Masters. Take a break, get a job & see if your employed will pay for you to go back to school. That way you get a small break, experience working & the chance to have someone else pay for your education!

Well if you are burned out then you should take a break!!
Chances are if you continue you will not do as well as you would if you had taken a break!! Just don't take a long break!!
BUT GO BACK!!!

Often, taking a break and working for a year in the profession that you are pursuing is a good idea...it gives u a "real world" perspective on the profession and helps you to decide if it is really for you. Good luck !

Take a break. I heard McDonalds has a great assistant manager program for people with bachelors degrees and they even give you a discount on their food.

take your GRE now while everything you learned is still fresh in your mind then take your break.
I put off my masters for a few years and let me tell you the GRE was killer after being away so long.
nope best to get that done sonner rather than later.

I dont think so...but that depends on you.
If you stop you will more likely forget those that you've learned and in taking your masters you might still need to review, so it'll be a bit difficult on your part.
But as I've said, it depends on you. It's your choice.
