Hey buddy, it depends on your career path, for business or finance related stuffs, professional courses, for engineering/science/ and some other social courses, masters.

It all depend on which career path you wish to tread. Academic or professional? If academic, pls go for ur Msc, afterwards, PhD. But if professional path, pls go for ur professional courses but that doesn't preclude the fact that you would still need your masters when you attain a certain level on the rung. As for me, I prefer being in the class.

You should have been specific by stating your field. I will assume it's business. A professional course should take priority.

It all depends on your profession. For example, if you are an accountant the professional certificate is more important to you than the masters degree except you want to pick up a lecturing job.

Well it depends on your career path. However, I think you should follow your heart, you dont need anyone to tell you what to do when you have already made your mind!

Professional qualification is OK on her own but M.sc requires Professional certification to make you more practical and theoretically oriented.

I support having both and having more of both !!!

I think it depends on your field.

In built environment, Professional Qualification is the most important.

Best of luck.

Get a master's degree first.

Bachelors are a dime a dozen nowadays and masters are more coveted. Let me explain

1. Army, Police, Civil Defence etc will place you a rank higher than your peers with a bachelors degree

2. Large corporations reduce the years of experience required for entry if you have a masters

3. Other rule oriented organizations increase the max age for applicants with a masters

PLUS: You can always get certifications even whilst working while you can not do same with a masters.

MY CANDID ADVICE --------> EAT THAT FROG NOW.

It depends on the field you are, For I.T professionals i would say getting Certifications are just the Bomb, for those in the commercial section i would say getting an MBA and not just MSc should be the Bomb!
Nowadays MSc is just like a normal BSc, Most companies want to know if you are really certified in your field

If you still stay in the class, you would need both . M.sc + Professional qualification(s).... Unless, you wanna remain stagnant.

Your other assertions stand though.
