The masters qualification is handed out to the top tier workers. It's for people who basically use mturk for a full time job and 'usually' output extremely high quality work. The masters qualification is supposed to open up the higher paying tasks. They will calculate the cost and if they aren't earning, at minimum, .10c per min or better, they will abandon or return your hits. Keep in mind that probably less than 1% of all turkers have that qualification. It's extremely tough to get. I mean no offense, but requiring a masters qualification for your (being blunt) junk hits is like requiring a PhD to flip burgers at McDonald's.
