It all comes down to this: what are the measurable benefits of such an MA in terms of your employability and earnings potential? Are employers looking for such degrees? Are they scaling up the compensation for those who hold them?
Do the research. Find out what people are looking for.
Don't get an advanced degree unless you're either a) passionate about it, b) certain it contributes to a specific career track or position, or c) both.
