I've got a BA in German languages and literature, so there you have it.
I think an MA might be more useful in "think-tank" type positions or at
a college but in the business world I've rarely seen someone get hired
over someone else because of more CS education. Out in the real world,
it's experience that counts. How many schools teach about the joys and
wonders of deploying a system to production, or dealing with bugs,
change requests, and maintenance for years after an initial release?
None that I know of.

You mean which is more valuable? Depends on where you're working and
what you were working on. In general, I'd say work experience, but then
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and no technical degrees
whatsoever, so I'm biased :-)
