I know there are quite a few technical/computery people on here so I thought it might be worth asking for some advice on something that I'm having trouble deciding...
...I have a place on a Masters Computer Science conversion course at Cardiff uni, due to start at the end of this month. I'm not sure whether it is worth doing or not though!
If I do it, I would do it part-time, 1 day a week, whilst continuing to work in my current job.
My current job is as an html/css/front-end web developer and I half feel that I could just carry on 'learning on the job.'
The masters would be expensive in terms of tuition fees and I can't afford to spend out that money if I am not really going to gain anything worthwhile from the course...
...really, I want to know what the value of that piece of paper is going to be to me...ultimately, will I likely be able to earn more money in the future if I have an actual computer-related qualification?
