What are the benefits of having a Masters degree?If a person had a degree in one subject, would you consider them more employable if they later went on to do a Master Degree?

that would depend on how much experience they had in the workplace. i would consider a person with a BS/BA with years experience in that field over someone who simply held a masters.

I think you should start working in your field and obtain your Master's Degree at night.

Without more information about the field the degree is in, generally, the higher the level of education you achieve, the higher level of income you will earn in your lifetime. It means you can take jobs of greater responsibility.

If you have the resources and time to achieve it, I say do it NOW. You won;t want to do it later. Personally I think it is worthless, but than again I don;t have a masters degree, I am just aware of how many people there are that do, and still aren;t worth a shit.

I would recommend it. Higher education pays off in the business world and a Master's degree stands out amongst competition. A Master's Degree is usually a specific specialization. If you know your field of interest this will be a definite plus on your side when competing for jobs. Your income will increase as well. Bachelor degrees are a dime a dozen now. Rosey

Employers like a degree in anything, having a masters degree could be more beneficial depending on the type of employment you are after. It's a very popular degreee on AO haven't you noticed? every second poster seems to have chosen it on their profile, they are as common as assholes around here. People think they will be thought of as more intelligent but thats not always the case.

Yes, higher education is very important. Most corporate executives have advanced degrees, unless you create your own company and hire high school graduates to run it.

I think it depends upon your aspirations. If you are looking to rise in business than you not only need the masters but you may find you are better off receiving it from very specific institutions. And if you are in education in certain states or in some other licensed careers than you can't escape that masters degree. You need it to perform services at a certain level and that relates to your pay grade. But I agree with Buffer in that sometimes we block exceptional people from providing services they are more than qualified to because of "pedigogy"; the theoretical coursework associated with certain areas of study.
