Curious to know what led you to get your masters a full decade after the bachelor's

Usually people either go full send or don't come back (from my experience) so I'm curious to learn your story

My husband had a gap for health reasons and my father ended up doubling back for his MBA mid PhD, so my experience is actually the opposite. The only person I know who got their master's directly after their bachelor's is my brother, who got his EdD much later.

Maybe this is culture dependant? But yeah health reasons (and money) are the two major factors that come to mind
