Major help

I see that the job market and the state of funding in academia is bleak. I am going to graduate with a bachelor’s of the arts in anthropology with a minor in Spanish. I’ve done an anthropology field school and I have good grades, and I budget so that technically I could pay off student loans in a few years. I can’t decide if I want to get a masters degree…I already have a good full time job, but I also am worried about the increased lack of funding and support. My professors said that if I don’t have a locked down plan it might be in my best interest to get experience and then go back. My parents say I should get my masters asap after my bachelor’s so it will be easier. Is anyone else in a similar boat? I feel like I’m losing my mind.
