You go and get a Masters because of 2 reasons
1. Signalling to your future employer / Getting past the HR filter. 2. Networking with others.
Learning something useful is usually a bonus.
Or, if you are like me, include #3: Plenty of time to build side-projects and experiment with products that you hope will grow into something substantial by graduation.
I would like to hear much more discussion about these two parts of it.
In particular, aren't you also signalling that you're a fraidy-cat conformist who can't do things for him/herself?
