Thank you for your reply, I completely agree that self-education can work great for most purposes. But some Master's programs may require academic credentials.

But some Master's programs may require academic credentials. Degrees are also important for gaining work visas in many countries.
Finally, I feel like structured and more "formal" education would be very helpful to me when it comes to understanding math and more theoretical concepts of CS. I had no problem learning webdev on my own, but for more academic-type things, it would just be easier to attend a program that will make sure I have no gaps in my knowledge.
- jjuhl 7y ago"that will make sure I have no gaps in my knowledge" - You will always have gaps in your knowledge. It's only a matter of what gaps you'll have - but gaps there will always be.
- zxcvbn4038 7y agoThat is a valid point. Of course I've met a number of people who came to America and found their degrees were considered useless once they arrived. Luckily IT is mostly immune to that also.
