I got about halfway through my MSEE but it stalled when kids arrived--for a while, the company I worked for did the classes as a perk (as in, the prof's were traveling to us and we were meeting at work). But while some of the classes were real interesting, I don't think it would have helped--specialization in the wrong areas, especially as more things are outsources (not necessarily overseas as much as, find the companies that already do it, and just buy a working whatever).
