Certifications or Masters Degree

I will be graduating with a BSIT from the University of Phoenix in April and am unsure which route I should take from there. I will still have two more years remaining in the Army at that point and am trying to decide if I should devote those two years to building up some certifications or obtaining a Masters degree. I currently work as an Army Recruiter, so I have no work experience in the IT arena, only educational experience. Which do you think would benefit me the most when it’s time for me to job hunt in two years, the BSIT with some certifications (if so, which ones) or the Masters in IT (also from UoP)? Any guidance you may be able to give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
