I often see newly-posted job descriptions for exactly what I am doing now, and they state that a master's degree is required (which I don't have).

This most likely means that they have a surfeit of applicants and want to cull the herd, or that they aren’t serious about hiring (or at least about hiring someone who is actually qualified).

Very few jobs actually require the knowledge gained during an undergraduate degree, much less what is learned during a master's.
