I don't expect to get my M.S. and all of a sudden my career is accelerating upwards. I'm basically getting it out of the way now so that it doesn't become a roadblock later. I agree that experience and playing the political field are two of the top. Someone very senior in our organization got an offer pulled at the last second because he didn't have a masters. Don't want to see that happen to me later.
