I would say join the industry, start your company, work on some cool stuff. Figure out if you would like to try your hand at research. If yes, apply to a masters program.

If you have the patience, time and the skill needed to comprehend advanced research papers or the time to learn more about machine learning / advanced graphics / distributed systems / compiler optimization and other cool stuff, don't join a Masters Program. If no, may be consider joining a Masters program, you'll not regret <-- but do this only after you have worked for a few years.
