Do you have an idea of where you want to teach (which school? which specialty? Which levels?)
The professors you spoke with — are they from the schools you're interested in teaching at? If not, I would go through the faculty list of the design departments you're interested in being a part of and ask for their advice. Even HR and the head of the department to know if you actually need a master's to be considered.
Two previous colleagues taught as an Adjunct professor at their alma maters without a Master's, a couple years out in the field.
This. Reach out to people doing things you want to do and ask how they got there. I’ve cold emailed professors (like Steve Heller) before and they’re all so kind and willing to help.

Don't do it unless you want to sink yourself in debt. There's plenty of resources online for free or a fraction of the price or consider continuing education classes.
sorry 😅
It’d be more beneficial getting a Master’s in something supplemental to your original studies (or career choice) than essentially majoring in the same thing. Examples: Psychology, Business, etc.
Also, my understanding for design instructors is that you don’t need a Master’s to teach. I’d personally rather learn from someone with tons of industry experience than not.
