Ditto Ransomsoul and Jody 7818. In my office, a master's degree used to be something novel. Now? It's a requirement. Why? Because of what they bring to the table. Really? The turn-over has become ridiculously high, and they're creating positions to fill in the skill gaps that these master's workers SHOULD have, but don't.
Some of us have pursued degrees simply to get a box checked off. Not to toot our own horn, but I've always had a sneaking suspicion that most of the forum members - with or without degrees - are smarter and better workers than many workers who got their degrees in the traditional manner. The desire to do a good job, I think, is a better indicator of how well any employee will perform than a wall full of degrees.
