Once I get to Master Mason, I'll be eligible to join the Shriners.
Then I plan to go through the process to become a Shriner, and once I am a Shriner, I will receive a cool hat.

Mission Accomplished!!
I'm fairly certain that you don't have to be a Master Mason to be a Shriner.
Master is only the third degree.
But yes you do.
After master you can go to the York Rite or the Scottish or in this case the Shriners. There are various other masonic bodies though.
