When someone asks a question like this, I get the impression that the questioner is not designing with the end in mind. If you are not already, start with the goal and break down your roadmap from there. What do you really want to do? (In this case, what are two or three jobs you would want to do?) What are the necessary prerequisites to achieving that? (Fortunately, most places specify these in the job listings) What steps must be taken in order to clear the prerequisites? If you need a master degree in CS to do what you want to do then yes, it will be worth it. If you can possibly do that thing without first getting a master degree in CS the no, the degree would not have been worth it since there exists at least one cheaper or faster way to achieve your goal.
