3rd degree is master mason.

It is the apex of standard masonic degrees. Any master mason may join Scottish rite or York rite (two different orgs) in order to pursue additional degrees. I know nothing about these except that to join the Shriners requires prior membership in one of these, but I dont recall which.

Think of 3rd degree as a bachelors degree. most people are done right there.

As for me, Im simply a master mason, 3rd degree. Nothing additional.
