The only reason why I would have considered it at all would be having class mates that possibly actually give a damn about what they are doing (something mostly lacking in the classes I was in which towards the end of my study kind of started to kill my own motivation for studying) and maybe some more interesting higher level subjects. But shrug, I was 24 when I got my Bachelor's so by the time I'd get my Master's I'd be about 27.

I'm in the second year of my bachelor's course in IT and I can relate to that situation... not even 20% of the population is truly serious towards what they are doing. Sometimes I wish I was better at chemistry, so I could have gotten admission at a better university.
I'm not going for a master's either.. the same reasons you mentioned.
