Probably just to have it since I was close. Let's be honest here -- I basically have it but didn't complete a couple of formalities. I personally believe the MSEE is one of the most prestigious Master's degrees you can get. An MBA? Pfffftt, give me a break. It might have wider application but an MSEE is much harder to obtain.
I was thinking a little earlier and I think I've come to the realization that being a EE was probably at its height in the 70s and 80s. So many different platforms to work on and it was such an exciting time for technology.
