Not that I think this world would be very easy to make into a fun video game,

But I hope that if they actually do put the game out, that they pull off getting you truly attached to your character and then somewhere in the middle of the story they unexpectadly kill your character, and make you take up playing a different character. Maybe even the one that killed you.

There's already some great advice about why or why not to get your Master degree now.

However, the people that are suggesting that this is a poor market to get your first job are wrong.

First off, hiring is not down that much (and in many instances it is up)

And I speak from experience, I finished school in early 2002, during the previous IT downturn.

You might not get the same starting wage as someone did 1 or 2 years ago, and you might need to relocate, but when the market takes off again, you will be much better positioned to get a better job (either in an area you care about more, or something just for more money), if you have 2 or 3 years of experience, vs. having a Masters Degree.

My suggestion is, regardless of whether you decide to get a Master's degree, get an internship or a Co-op over the summer. Especially if you decide not to get your Masters. Even that 1 summer of experience will help to differentiate yourself from any other graduates that have no experience.
