Because your bias, you want it to work that way, because thats what you want to do. A masters isnt a credential. Sure you could get hired somewhere, but you could get hired somewhere without the Masters, they arent going to be much better than the ESs/ISs/DSs you are at already.
A Masters by itself isnt going to open any doors that arent already open to you.
It would be worse to get your masters before your credential because you wouldnt likely be able to count that experience with the masters but pre-certification, recruiters and leadership is just going to assume that you were at some third tier IS/ES teaching EAP for primary.
