Both from reading other posters on careers boards and in talking with people, it seems that a masters doesn't make much of a difference. One person talked about how some people with masters have trouble in real life programming (speaking of CS grads) because they are so academically focused. This person said he'd rather have someone with a 4 year degree who's been practicing with personal projects and open source . . . (again, this isn't networking but rather programming so, it may not apply to you)
