If you can do the work and want an "easy" button to a comfortable life in the Bay Area software is the way to go.
In my experience Masters an PHD does not mean the person is more competent or capable of doing a job unless they studied and researched a particular field and continue to work in that field. The higher starting pay can be quickly closed in upon by someone who is good at negotiating and job hopping with a "lesser" degree.
And there are plenty in software around here who make great money without a degree, reputation can carry you a long way if you can network well.
