It worth but for reason not directly tied for practical experience (take with grain of salt): - Working with government projects/grants, the moment R&D mentioned - you notice that master degree is requirement for contract - in any job (especially in public), when climbing ladder without degree you can quickly be disadvantaged or straight up fired - It worth maybe 2/3 times (if you final projects and marks are top notch), then your cv matter more.
