Is there any use of Masters in Computer Science?

I have done Masters in Computer Science from Texas, but now I find there are hardly any jobs that need a Masters degree.

I am into .Net development and almost all of .Net jobs only need a Bachelors degree . Please advise what should be my career next steps so I can put my Masters degree to use.

What kind of jobs should I be looking for or what should I specialize in? I feel like a Masters degree in Computer Science is not useful at all.

Thanks.

Actually, most entry level positions require a Bachelors. The Masters degree comes into play mostly after some experience has been added and you move into higher level positions or move to teaching.

It is good to have it in advance even though it feels like it isn't doing you any good. The two hardest parts are that an employer looks and sees the Masters and it scares them into thinking they can't afford you and don't have an opening to meet with your education. It also has the effect on some people that they think because they have a masters they are above most entry level positions.

Please...please advise what those higher level positions could potentially be. Thats exactly what I am looking for.

Are you referring to Business Analyst, Tech Lead, Architect, Project Manager or some thing else?

Do people with a Masters degree only work with creating compilers and algorithms? If so, then the number of companies hiring them are very limited like Microsoft, Intel, Norton, IBM. I dont know if any other companies would hire a Masters candidate to create algorithms.
