Masters Degree Software Application Development

andrew79 over 4 years ago

I am about to complete my BS in Software Engineering for Computer Science and debating about getting a Masters in either software or cyber....is anyone taking this program or know someone who has taken it?

TIA!

    Statistically the higher degree is worth it, in terms of salary over the course of a whole career, versus the loss of salary while obtaining the extra degree and cost of the degree.

    Individual circumstances may dictate it is not feasible or not desirable to delay entering the work force.

    It is also important to enjoy what you are doing. I didn't find the academic environment to be friendly or enjoyable, with everyone scrabbling for individual achievement and recognition and using whoever they could to get there. Your mileage may vary.
