Pursue a masters degree or get a second bachelors?

For me, the most important things is get an education for a job you would love. To make that more likely, try to talk to people doing a certain job before completing all that work with the possibility that you might not be happy doing what you think it involves. As them if they were doing it all over would they choose that career? Ask them what they dislike about their job. People are different so if you can ask these questions of at least 3 people it might guide you.

Get a job. There's something to be said for scholarship, but education is not really for its own sake. You have a Bachelors in criminal justice I assume. Unless you're planning on doing something else, you don't need another bachelors. If you plan to change careers, get a masters degree in that career field. Get a masters in CJ or something related if you want, but only something that requires a masters. It's an expensive, useless, and prideful hobby to just get a degree of any kind without good reason.

SGT Robert Zuniga go for your masters degree if you enjoy the field of work you're in. If you plan to stay that route and want to advance in the field.
I'll give you an example;
My first bachelors was in computer science. I work in the field and found myself getting bored at a young age, so I joined the army as a medic (figured it would be a 180 from compsci)
So now while I already have a bachelors, I'm back finishing my second bachelors in biology premed as I am enjoying the medical world.
Had I loved the compscI engineering I would have continued into masters and Phd in the field to advance myself and my marketability to employers.

Concur with the previous response. I made the mistake of working on a second bachelors myself. However, I transitioned from logistics and operations management to healthcare administration. Move forward sounds like the consensus.

In your case the masters is the right direction. If you had a bachelors with poor marketability, art history, or similar liberal arts degrees, it might be more beneficial to obtain another bachelors degree in a marketable skill. I wound research occupational outlooks before deciding.

As purely a ticket punch, get they masters. Employers will want it more than a second BS or BA....

It really depends on your career desires, but you will definitely get higher pay with a graduate degree...

Graduate degree will open more doors and most likely cost less.

I was in the same boat recently. If you don't want to switch fields, go masters. Always go up. Having two of the same is never looked at the same way...

I recommend pursuing your Master's Degree, it will distinguish you from other applicants and will show an expected progression in your civilian education level. I'm halfway through my MA and I definitely would do it again!
