    I hired someone recently, fresh out with a masters in graphic design - all i needed was some business card typeset for clients new employees. Nothing needed to change, but they spent hours analyzing the color scheme and how that related to the mood of the viewer... they were a bit put off when i told them that their mini-thesis was on their own time.

    I'm sure it's not the case with all- but most of the people I know with design masters are fed so much theory that they find it hard to fit within a practical/production schedule.

    If a masters degree was somehow woven in with an apprenticeship (not confused with an internship), I think they'd be a lot more valuable.
