Yes, get the degree (as long as you’re ok with the cost / debt burden, which you did not mention).
It’s very, very unlikely IMO that AI will take our jobs in the next 5-10 years. But I think the demand for good ML engineers will stay strong. Having a master’s in this is a big leg up, it’s hard for people to learn ML well without formal education.
Also, education is a great way to ride out the current crappy job market.

In 2008 I had a few friends go back for higher education rather than stay at/take low quality jobs. They graduated with additional debt, but also with credentials that accelerated their job search and earnings during the recovery. If your personal situation allows it, it’s a good idea to consider.
- lisplist 4y agoThis has definitely been on my mind. A Master’s might help you stand out a little more when everyone is fighting for roles in the downturn.
