A master's degree is an easy way to get experience in the field. Say you apply for a job that only requires a bachelor's in experience, maybe some IT certs, and maybe a year or two of experience. You could come in with a bachelor's and a master's in the field, a thesis, maybe an assistantship, etc., and get the job because it's years of educational experience beyond what they expect. It happens a lot. Get an internship somewhere in something related and use that as your work experience in the field.

The company I work for hires cybersecurity people with no experience as long as you have a little IT experience and a degree. They don't even require certs, just prefer them. It's still possible in many companies.
