I don’t know how much it would benefit you in a few years. One might assume getting hired will be a little easier then. You already have a unique degree. I’d get the Masters if you think you would benefit from it aside from getting hired, but that’s just my .02. All other things equal, I do believe it helps at the moment but I think the environment is different now than it will be. Of the “young” people I know who got on relatively early, most were interns or have graduate degrees. I can pretty easily compare their current positions to those with the same resumes minus the advanced degree, and there’s more or less a common theme for who has and hasn’t been hired. Aside from the degree, everyone has all the usual stuff: networking, job fairs, new type ratings, volunteer work, etc. This is just my experience.
