Should I get my master's right away or wait to see if the company I work for can pay for it?

The reason I ask is because I've heard a few professors talk about how they landed jobs with companies willing to pay for their Master's degree.

With the exception of obvious careers that require advanced degrees before you can work (doctors, lawyers), I think most people would benefit from a few years of work experience before entering any kind of master's program. For one, you'll be able to get admitted more easily if you have work experience. You may also discover that your career path doesn't necessarily require a master's degree (as a former newspaper editor, I can tell you I was always much more interested in candidates with work experience than master's degrees!). And yes, many companies will pay all or part of your advanced degree, so it's another reason to hold off.
