One correction here is that you are not limited to GS-9 with a BS only. GS-9 is often people with zero experience and a BS only depending on the position - like everything it's based on competitiveness.

Recognize that the GS scale starts with people who have no formal education at all.

Starting out of school with a BS in computer science or computer engineering was GS 7 or 8, so around $40-50k/year. The salaries are public for each level.

Additional degrees do not move you off the GS scale.

Reaching the equivalent of executive level can mean moving beyond GS to the senior executive service (SES).
