Well, most of the good business schools don't take people unless they've had at least two years out in the working world, or had some excellent entrepreneurship experience in college. Executive MBA programs are an option, but you don't get as in-depth an education (or the networking opportunities) as traditional MBAs. Even then, your salary would only increase by 20% or so (or so says the Mr., who's getting his eMBA from a top 10 school).
Sometimes just having a Master's for the sake of having it doesn't increase your salary.
