A Masters is not really needed unless you need it for your specific career, but in most cases a Bachlelor's gets you a starting career. In this economy and way of living, careers are getting hard to find and degrees give you an advantage over most. That isn't to say that you're guaranteed a career. Some don't need a degree because their communication skills get them through most of the process. Somewhere in between, however, they would have to get the knowledge somehow.
