I cant say my graduate work was much harder then my undergrad work, the prof's treat you a bit different and there are less idiots in the classes that hold you back but overall it wasn't all that much harder.
As far as the thesis work, as long as you truely understand what your working with, its really not that bad. Its more time consuming then anything else IMO.
As far as the Masters stuff goes, getting in and starying in was the hard part, dealing with school polotics sucks.

Do you have your master's or are you currently enrolled in a master's degree program?

6 credits short of finishing it and I got booted from the program for the Indian students that my college catered to. I plan to finish it as soon as I find a place that I will be willing to do doctoral work at.
Pissed me off, 6 of us (the only 6 non indians in the program) got booted to make room for Indian students on a full ride, full housing paid for, cars paid for (BMW's), food paid for and spending $$. All bullshit because IBM wanted them as employees and IBM ran our school.
Talk about BS, any normal student was required to keep a 3.5GPA to be gauranteed a spot in the graduate program, however indian students only were required to keep a 2.5GPA because english wasn't their first language and they couldn't be expected to do as well. This was a Computer Science program mind you. Did they make this offer to other non english as a first language people? nope just the indians.
IMO it really hasn't made a difference not actually having the degree, I dont get hired based on my degree, and I want to keep on with the same people for my PHD that I get my MS from and they dont offer a PHD program anyway. Will probably end up at the UT to finishup my MS and do PHD work, I want to change the focus of it anyway.

For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
Would be nice if the credit transfer over though I am not holding my breath. Atleast it didn't cost me to many years of my life. It still pisses me off to no end.
