[QUOTE="Hacker News, post: 71345, member: 365"] 5 year's ago I made a career change and became a software developer. I'm 100% self taught and I've been able to start from the bottom (again! I spent 10 years working in a different industry before making the change) and working my way up to being a pretty decent mid level developer. Due to being self taught I've not had the structured education you get by being taught a curriculum and I was wondering if studying a MSc in CS would be beneficial or even supplant the experience I gain doing my day job? Would gaining an MSc in CS be worth my time and money? I'm considering taking one up whilst continuing to work full time.
