In HR field a CIPD professional certification is in demand. High percentage of people now have degrees, masters will give to a slight advantage over the graduate masses.

Your leading question is very vague, so I was going to say that it depends on the field of study, since for some professions it is a requirement. I had to get my Master's to become licensed and certified; as of this year, a doctorate is required for new certifications in my profession.
I am in medicine, but having dealt with Human Resources departments in small, medium and large companies, I would guess that having a Master's gives you an edge over other entry-level candidates without it; but in your line of work I suspect that experience is highly regarded as well. So if you have no experience and are up against a candidate with 5-10 years experience but no Master's, you may be on equal footing.
Oddly enough, with your educational background, you should be better qualified to answer your own question than random people on the web are! LOL!

Agreed with HearKat. It depends almost 100% on the field. In some fields (biochemistry comes to mind), a Ph.D. is the new B.Sc.. Your value stacks up against the people you're competing with, so that's the only way you can really judge it.
Apparently, some countries are thinking of instating some sort of educational level above Ph.D.. I think that's an excellent idea, but I'm sure all the collective egos out there will find their voice and dissent ;)

All education is valuable but if you are speaking in monetary terms it depends entirely in which field you will be working. FE and HE definitely value a Masters and will show this in your salary.

There usually best when used as a conversion course, i.e. gaining another speciality. Or an MBA can be fairly useful on it's own, especially if it's from a top college.

It doesn't matter what we think out here it is what you think about yourself and what you what to do with it that matters, find your passion in life and persue it! Go for it! All the best to you
