Today a masters is quite common and for some careers, it's entry level. We use to tell the kids [when I was a teacher] "to get a good job, get a good education". We forgot to tell them "just don't get conned into borrowing a hundred thousand dollars to do it".
I taught shop. They are dropping shop programs all over the country. Where do you think those trades people got their start? Not everyone's dad took them under their wing and taught them how to fix things and build things like mine did.

Answering the OP question............I say, "no".
Regarding your comment on Masters Degrees..............I think they are becoming less and less common...........students are finding out employers are seeing less value in a Masters Degree. (just my exposure and experience)
