OK, bit more specific then, are Masters worth it? From my experience, over here, the vast vast majority of people do have degrees, and of them, the vast majority have MA.s. (Though I have a feeling that this is down to archaeology being a joint arts degree rather than the stand alone degree that it is in the UK). Anyway, my point is: are they so common that they mean nothing, and are you better off to do your degree then work your way up? [?]
