A masters is not necessary unless you want to impress other people who have a masters degree. Sort of the same thing as wearing a blue suit when you meet with a banker who wears a blue suit. It re-affirms their choices in life.
Not all fields have a masters program, and despite the hype associated with the advent of the MBA in the 60's, American business is more fucked up npw than ever.
Outsourcing of manufacturing and high-tech jobs is eroding the economy to the point where soon the only jobs left will be retail sales, blue collar, flipping burgers, and janitorial.
Maybe I exagerate slightly, but man, in general things are sluicing into the scuppers damned quick. The best job for an MBA is guarding lawyers at the bottom of the sea.
When I review resumes, MBAs automatically get the "Sorry, but not interested" letter. I'm just sorry I can't do it every time my company has an opening.
