In itself, there isn't that much direct value to an employer unless your work in a Masters degree is directly relevant to their product/service. However, the most valuable part of an advanced degree is building your own knowledge and experiencing new things that you won't necessarily get to experience in a job.

That is worth far more than anything an employer can offer you.
