Over two years ago, I wondered the exact same question and could never receive a direct answer. Currently, I am enrolled in an MA program for political science and could hopefully shed some insight as to exactly the value of obtaining such a degree. Immediately after receiving a BA in Political Science, I immediately began work in campaigning. Afterwards, I did some side work in consulting for a while then worked for a state legislator. This lasted for slightly over a year before I enrolled in an MA program full time. My ultimate goal is to obtain a Ph.D., subsequently teaching and researching. The simple answer to the question, then, is because acquiring an MA in Political Science advances your own career. One becomes more competitive as a job applicant with an advanced degree in the field, whatever that field may be and certainly this one is no exception. One likely result is faster advancement, certainly within any government or campaign related job. An advanced degree really helps if you want to really stand out from the rest. Although, if looking to stay within the world of public policy or campaigning, it might be advantageous to focus efforts on an advanced degree less theoretical and more specialized. For such prospects, I would recommend obtaining a Masters in Public Policy or the like. In contrast, from what I have witnessed, most of those seeking an MA degree, however, are looking to continue their education after obtaining such. Many of those in my program are planning to go onto law school or earn a Ph.D. and are earning an MA to make them more competitive for the big name law and research schools. Some, however, simply wish to earn only an MA and focus their efforts on teaching rather than research. I guess, then, the short answer is you can do anything with an MA degree you can do with a BA, except of course teach at the college level, although it does make you more competitive a candidate, but a MPA could do that as well for specific fields. There is also of course as I strongly believe the idea of protracting one's understanding of the world. This, regardless of the career and economic benefits, improves a person's quality of life and atleast for myself was motivation alone toward obtaining an MA.
