This is mainly just a hypothetical. I am not even close to getting out right now, but if I were to get out I would want to know. Also, how much extra earning potential does a masters degree add to that? A focus on the DC metro area is preferred.

It has nothing to do with whether you are enlisted or not, it depends more on the field and your specialty. You can google average salary's for professions and regions.

It depends on your career field, availability of talent and your negotiating skills

Not much. Your specific career field is about as useful in the civilian world as a plow horse on todays farms. You need to focus in on the skills that you use to be successful in intelligence and then see how those skills are used in the civilian world. DC metro area may be able to use your intelligence background, but what happens when the civilian company you work for loses its contract? By all means pursue a Masters , it will increase your worth to any future employer. Again don't focus on intelligence, but rather the skills you use to be good in the intelligence career field

I meant more in terms of intelligence analysis positions working as a GS civilian or government contractor.
