You may find that there is a huge difference in the knowledge you have acquired as a SysAdmin and that required to complete a MS. If you do decide to pursue the studies, I would expect that you will be looking for a very different role based upon your additional (although green) level of CS knowledge. You didn't say what sort of organisation you work for. Maybe you should discuss the idea with HR, there might be a career development path open to you that will allow you to better integrate your newly acquired skills. Maybe, doing the studies part-time would be better than full-time.

Thank you so much for your response. I have worked for both MNCs like Yahoo and Juniper and startups like iXiGO. I have served as the Senior Engineer and Information Systems Architect for these positions. I have mostly seen that the work culture in India is not what I like to work in. I have recently tried working for Facebook in Ireland. Apparently that did not work out very well either primarily because of the kind of work they gave me was mostly NOC sort of job. My take on why I was given such a job was because probably I did not have a MS and they did not take me seriously enough. I have demonstrated taking companies from scratch through a PCI-DSS certification, so I am capable of doing better than NOC jobs. Also, I would like to work for or setup my company in the US. Unfortunately, I do not know any HR or forum where I can ask this question.
