Wait a moment, you're asking about a Masters and you then mentioned a Bachelors in your last post... What are you trying to do, a Bachelors and ladder up to a Masters? This is one of a few reasons I tell people to be more informative in their posts and should really follow the template and last post addendum when looking for advice, by providing more details we can help you get to the final educational goal better.

At the time being, my advice is to decide how you want to complete your education. Jumping from IT tech support to a Business Analyst role is very similar to how I changed gears, I've been in this industry for the same amount of time as you, if not more. I started in sales/service in 98' to one of those mom & pop computer shops, in 2000 I jumped ship to NewsCorp's subsidiary, 2008, I went on to IBM's subsidiary, and 2019 have been contracting/consulting since as a Senior Tech Analyst.
Without much details, it's really going to be hard to provide you concrete steps forward. You may want to work on three main things, obtaining Certs, double down on your Degree, gain Experience. If you're looking into being a Business Analyst within the Business/IT industries, you should really work on those 3 - Industry Certs (Coursera/Google), Laddering Degrees (Undergrad & Grad), Experience (3+ years in that BA or similar role).
