A quick master's is generally always worth it in a technical field. Most Universities have a way where you can spend a single extra year or two max and tack a Master's onto your Bachelor's with testing or a quick project. If you can do this, do it. On the flip side, if you're not getting a PhD, avoid the thesis Master's like the plague. It will suck up vast amounts of time and isn't worth the risk. The money bump combined with the doors opened because you have a "credential" is very useful over the course of your career. It also has an impact when layoffs and promotions come around because you can be associated with the "research" groups while pure Bachelor's are blocked by silly HR rules.
