As a recent job searcher, I found that having a Master's helped immensely in just getting my foot in the door for interviews. That being said, without work experience, I don't believe it will help out initially. I worked full-time while going to grad school, so not only did I have 5 years of work experience, but a Master's (which work paid for) to go along with it. My opinion: suck it up and go to school while working. It makes for a tough few years, but the benefits will far out-weight the costs. Just keep in mind, that you may need to switch jobs to take advantage of the extra pay potential from getting the degree.

Its been working fine for me on two different machines. The big problem I had however, was having to do a fresh install and put SP2 on before installing any other software, or else I had problems (Network Connections disappearing, unable to install VS .NET 2003, etc).

Did anyone else HAVE to reinstall to get SP2 on correctly?
