MSc IT Service Management....

[Tingles]

I'm doing an MSc at the moment. MSc in IT (Information Security), off the back of am IT BSc.

A small part of my brain can forsee a future of acadamia...a possible PHD after this, and when I'm about 45 retire to a life of part time lecturing or book writing...something "peice of p*ss"-y for a nice amount of cash.

But in reality, it probably wont help me.

It costs £327 per month, and I have to say I really enjoy it (and I'll enjoy it a lot more once I'm on the bench, and hopefully when I'm in prison next year for insufficient corp tax funds I'll be able ot carry it on)...

But is it worth it? Only time will tell. Probably not.

Edit: One last thing..only do it if you really want to, as they take up LOADS of time! I spend about 20-30 hours per week on it.

Many thanks for your replies....

I'm going to the Open day tomorrow....

Education is rarely a waste. Although I knew a girl in her early 20s who'd done an MBA from a lowly college and that struck me as poor value for money for several reasons.
My tuppence worth is that, for many people, their 30s and 40s are often the most lucrative career years. With your qualifications and experience, why lose perhaps 15 months of that? Anyone who studies part-time outside of work has my admiration. I took a BA and Masters in my 20s and only do short, professional courses now (I'm 41). I can't see that another degree is going to produce a ROI that would make it worthwhile for me to do.
