UNLV for graduate school

I found a student who is graduating this year from the RISD program I was thinking about applying to; I shot her a few questions via e-mail to see what she thought about myself applying as an Elementary Education graduate with no arts courses and, in simplest terms, she responded that it wasn't a good idea. The school is an art school and their graduate courses build on the basis that students have a solid foundation about artistic principles. I was a little bummed about this and am still uncertain whether I will try to apply anyway.

On top of this information, I was browsing UNLV's graduate school website and found a similar program for Art Education. I think that it is more reasonable to stay in Las Vegas for a little longer and maybe look for scholarship opportunities through the university. Moving away for a year and spending $30,000+ on my degree would not be cost effective and a little unreasonable seeing that I am living in a house right now where I am helping pay the mortgage. I figure, the longer I live in this house the more I can earn when trying to sell it (hopefully).

I know that I've been wanting to teach immediately after I graduate but something worries me about not pursuing further education immediately. One of my professors this year suggested taking a year off and then going back for more schooling. A hard part about going straight into a Master's degree is the fact that a good portion of the curriculum requires me to analyze real student work (which is more attainable from my own students). I still don't know what I'm going to do when I graduate but it's looking like I'll be staying here for a while. I'm nervous about life post-college and almost want to stay in school forever so I don't have to think about a career! (jk) But it is a nerving.
