What does a masters in IT get you? The moral dilemma of end users deciding to open a ticket or walk up to help desk? A deep dive into the public clouds?
Jokes aside, as a sysadmin, I'm genuinely curious
Probably jumpstarting your career, after a few years it doesn't really matter anymore, but in those first years in a field you'll probably get a bit further.
Seems a bit in depth for a starting point. An associate's or bachelor's seems more fitting. Master's is for deeper dives into areas of expertise, from what I understand.
In my experience its more about learning how to dive really deep into one subject, but you'll have many subjects in your life and applying those learned skills to your work.
