A lot fewer than there are master's degree programs, that's for sure.

High school or university instructor

Generally speaking, you may not necessarily need an MA for a particular job but you are paid more and can apply for better jobs with an MA.

Social work, education (may require phd in some cases), nurse practitioner (masters of nursing), certain higher level government jobs, certain jobs in mental health, certain corporate management type jobs (MBA), and certain non profit management type jobs (MBA).

Social Worker. Most places require at least an MSW to hire you as a social worker. Not talking about case manager or caseworker, which can be done with only a Bachelor's in Social Work.

Depending on the state, any public school teacher, including pre-school and Kindergarten. In some states it isn't a choice for either the school district in hiring or for the teacher in order to get higher pay, it is the law and the teacher will lose their teaching credential if they don't get one. It is ridiculous.

And no, school systems do not pay for it, the teacher does.

Counseling, accounting, social work, architecture, teaching, most healthcare careers involving direct patient care that's not nursing, certain types of engineering, and in many workplaces you can only move up so far into management without one.
