Yeah this whole situation is hard because for an individual it's all about you and your path is unique. Some people can successfully transition in this market.
I would argue that a lot of people that got jobs in the better times maybe shouldn't have and they might be still struggling to find their place... the job is the beginning and not the end.
1. Bachelor's helps, professional experience in a "desk job" where you did well in that career means more.
2. Master's are slower and usually more expensive. A top tier masters can bring name recognition that significantly help. The ultimate benefit from school is doing internships, so whether you do a post bacc or a master's, getting some internships in before graduating is the key benefit. A degree without internships won't help much
I never give people an answer just options haha, so I'm not sure what's for you and I would consider a wide range of options.
