Masters Degree in Computer Science

Hello guys, wonderful community here...i just joined..i studied Geology (First class grad) but gained Interest in coding (wev Development) Last year and ever since, i have been self-learning. I am currently learning VUE JS.. and would move to node.js and other backend languages later.. I want to go for a master's in computer science to advance my career and further increase my employability..

What do you guys think? I would be taking a student loan for it...is it worth it?

Thank you guys...

    Not worthy imo unless you want to devote to academia/research. If you want to work in the industry/build your own products, you will be better off by gaining practical experience. Along with design, I believe that programming is the easiest carreer path to learn on your own.

    No, one hundred percent not save yourself from dept slavery. Join the real world and fight the good fight to get a job that lets you learn real marketable skills in the wild.
