Should I get a masters in Computer Science?

If you're just graduated from college with a computer science degree, do yourself a favor and enter the job market now.  Do not go back and get a masters degree.

Why?  Because this puts you at least two years behind your peers when it comes to gaining real-world workplace experience and puts you at least twice as much debt.

Instead, consider going to get your masters part time when you become a mid-level developer.  This will give you a better idea of what you really like to do and you can tailor your degree toward that experience.  You may prefer to target AI/ML, Cybersecurity or Project Management instead of continuing on with Computer Science as you learn more about what you enjoy at your job.
