Does postgraduate education in Computer science worth?

Featured Replies

Hi i am undergraduate student in Computer science and i was thinking about postgraduate education in Artificial intelligence mainly or Computer security.
Does it worth in your opinion?
I am willing to read alone about technologies since i am programming since i was 14 years old using courses from the web so there is no problem in understanding things from courses.
Generally im good in learning using google / internet and sometimes i perform better by using internet sources.
I think the postgraduate im thinking about attending is named Master, MSc etc.
What's your opinion?

I have worked in computing/electronics all my life. All the teams I have worked with have included some people with PhDs, some with masters degrees, some with bachelors, and some with no formal qualifications at all (that includes me). 

So I don't think there is any clear answer to this. It depends whether you prefer to study or work. What sort of work you want to do. Etc.

Basically i want to do serious jobs.

Some people state that Msc's are not that important in a person's carrier and that personal work is what really matters.

I am thinking about studying home due to time efficiency but im scared that the absence of degree may close me doors.

To be honest im a bit talented in this field i did some full stack web developer jobs when i was 14 years old etc

What about you? if you could go past in the time would you get at least a degree or something like MSc?
