Depending on your career aspirations, as one colleague has stated a Bachelor is the minimum standard required for many graduate or under graduates within my own organisation. From my own experience, of doing an MSc, Whereas a Bachelor's degree had a structured approach, and studying was related text books, particular principles - I did a BA via the Open University the hard way, because I was traveling frequently. I found the MSc level was challenging, and it really made me think, and learn how to structure arguments effectively, especially when the readership was my own management within my organisation. In a sense, the CISSP is an artificial world, to ensure you know how to apply the principles to your everyday activities, very structured, but you still have to apply your own experience to complete it. Whereas a higher degree, teaches you to carry out research, make decisions based on the information being gathered, the source and whether there was an inherent bias within it. You then applied that learning directly to your own thinking, in a structured manner and argued ones cases whether it was for a particular case or against it. You had to validate and structure ones arguments and stand behind them and apply that learning to every day activities, it was certainly for me a period of self development, and vast learning experience.
As long as you have work, life and balance, you can achieve many things - but don't neglect those around you, as you become more and more focused on the MSc experience, especially on the final thesis etc.
