A Masters Degree, in my opinion, is something you take to learn. It's about delving deeply into an area you want to learn more about. If you're in the program purely to pick up skills that you need in an average programming job, then you're going to be frustrated and you're being inefficient. If you quit your masters and light the money you're spending on tuition on fire and then spend your days hacking on an interesting project using technologies that you want to get a job in, then you're going to be farther ahead than if you get a masters. If you're in your masters to learn something that fascinates you, or to pick up some deep understanding of an area that you want to work on, then stay in. If not, then seriously consider dropping it.
