This is so true! The only reason I have a masters degree is because I didn't win a job during the completion of my bachelors degree and I needed something to do while I continued to work on winning a job. I chose continuing the degree track because it seemed to afford the most opportunities to do the types of things I needed to work on that would move me forward toward my ultimate goals. The only reason I went back to school to finish my masters (the summer after my first season on the job) was because I was already 90% done with the degree and it seemed a waste to not complete it. There was no practical reason to complete the degree once I had landed the job.
My opinion for what it's worth...
