Since I have been down-voted: Master degrees are valued differently in different countries. In Germany there would be more cases where they would be helpful than in America.

Depends on your country.

Are you sure about that? From what I have read, climate has a pretty big influence on society, and therefore changes in climate would play major roles everywhere.

5000 BC, when the Sahara was still habitable, the society at the Nile was already more advanced than other societies in Africa.
