Ask HN: Is a MSc in Computer Science worth the time and money?
5 year's ago I made a career change and became a software developer. I'm 100% self taught and I've been able to start from the bottom (again! I spent 10 years working in a different industry before making the change) and working my way up to being a pretty decent mid level developer.
Due to being self taught I've not had the structured education you get by being taught a curriculum and I was wondering if studying a MSc in CS would be beneficial or even supplant the experience I gain doing my day job?
Would gaining an MSc in CS be worth my time and money? I'm considering taking one up whilst continuing to work full time.

I'm based in the UK.
