Should you get a masters degree in computer science? An “informed decision tree”
- zck 9y agoThis doesn't seem to distinguish between different types of masters degrees. I got a Masters of Engineering in Computer Science from Cornell, and it's not a research degree^1. I enjoyed the program, but it was closer to a fifth year of undergrad. Similarly, the bottommost branch seems to assume you're doing the degree while having a fulltime job. [1] If you were very self-motivated, you could do research. But, as a student who came into the program without doing so, I found myself unable to get into research. So the default was not research.
