I think some states require a master's degree to teach K-12.
Strangely, I've seen a few high-ranking police officers with master's degrees in education. I don't know if they got these degrees because they were trainers or they just had an interest in education. Some departments pay more for having a master's degree and usually don't care which subject it's in.
Other reasons to get a master's in education would be to become an instructional designer, corporate trainer, test designer, or researcher in education. Less commonly, some education programs are designed for licensure in counseling or school psychology or certification as a behavioral analyst.
There are an increasing number of education programs that focus on adult learning.
