Do you think that master degree is important? I see that many companies nowadays ask for a master degree but still I know many people who had a job without it. Do you think it is essential?
This answers your question. You asked if a Master's degree is important but put it right there that many companies are looking for it in their applicants. Then of course it is important. Since you want to have a high paying job and the companies giving those jobs require it. Now you say that you see people getting hired even if they don't have a Master's degree. Well, they could get in a company without a Master's degree but then again their salary would be much less than a person who has it.
