JDB,
I have a BS in Business with an emphasis in management. My Master's is in a totally unrelated field, so I can't say whether or not it would/did help in my business career. However, here's just one old guy's opinion.
If you're going to pursue a career in education or government, go for the Master's. Those fields highly value degrees.
If you're going to pursue a career in the private sector, decide what you want to do and then learn HOW to do something. Private sector doesn't care nearly as much about the number of degrees that you have as they care about what you can actually do.
Advanced degrees in communications, human relations, management, etc. mean very little. They're so hypothetical and philosophical that they don't really teach you HOW to do anything.
Accounting and finance are better degrees if you're actually going to be working in those areas. You can use the technical education to do a better job.
So, in my opinion, you need to decide what you want to do and then learn how to do it. Don't bother with a bunch of "foo-foo" unimportant information that probably won't help you perform any better.
