It doesn't come with knowledge, but with knowledge and more experience, and a facility worth more than I can earn in a year. You've got to have at least 2 different rooms and a car stereo, not to mention a number of different monitors and speakers ranging from $10 to $1000++. So most of us actually do submasters, or leave it up to someone who has been mastering for the last 20 years (more than $500). And the best part is, for really good mixes, the only thing to master would be the level, so the engineer just inserts one of those plug-ins, pushes the fader up, and tells you it's done.
