I know it's not fair how master's are given out . My son has been turking about 5 years longer than me and he does not have a masters, but he does not put in the time and energy that I do.Just to clarify and not spread false hope to the new peeps... No one really knows what will get you masters but a9s can certainly help you pad your stats so if you ever run into a mass rejection or something like that it won't hinder your turk career.
