They would rather hire a Master Degreed Person for the same money/price as the bachelor degreed person? If so, that is scary. Why would they do that? Has the Bachelor degree lost it's luster/monetary value because too many Adam and Eve have them?

You're looking at it the wrong way. A Master's Degree is worth something, otherwise hardly anybody would bother to get one. Therefore, if you only have a Bachelor's Degree, in order to compete with somebody who has a Master's Degree, you need to ask for less salary.
If they were really hiring Masters for the same average salary as Bachelors, that would mean the Master's Degree was worthless (except perhaps in terms of intellectual satistfaction).
On the other hand, employers sometimes look for someone who is qualified but not over-qualifed because the over-qualified applicant is less likely to stick around. (If that's the situation, the "over-qualified" Master will probably eventually get a higher paying job elsewhere. That probability is what kept him from getting the lower paying job.)

A person with a Master's Degree shows persistence and perhaps intelligence above the average applicant. Many jobs require a Master's to advance in a company. In this changing world people need to constantly learn new things and adapt to changing circumstances. A person with a Master's has shown he/she has this capability.

It really depends on the degree. Liberal arts, well there are way too many of us out there, so the masters becomes so much more important. If your talking the sciences math ect then the answer is no, those guys can go get a high paying job very easily. Its all supply and demand. There are way too many Liberal Arts degrees out there, so it is the new high school diploma.

Good question - although, I think it has a lot to do with the position, and whether or not the Master's Degree individual is hard up enough to settle for a more minimal amount of money.

I've been led to believe that employers will do anything they can to *not* employ a Master's degree type. The employers think that the Master's degree person will be TOO academic and abstract to do anything reasonably practical.

Narrow down the number of entries.Bachelor Degree will never lose it's charm, if it is challenging one.

obviously it makes more sense to get a better well educated person for the same price as a still qualified but less informed person.
