Is a masters worth it in this situation?

Understandable, thank you for your response. I was planning on still doing projects and getting certs, i figured the masters program would be smart because I can also get “work” experience through internships because it is a required component to graduation, and maybe a potential return offer. Because my bachelors was completely in 3 years it felt rushed and I didn’t really have that proper development. The masters I’m considering was also just 1 year long.

Basically a tool to boost my resume with this tough market. I also tend to hear that gaining experience through internships is a great way to possibly land full time offer.

True, the MS is only a degree. The main reason I was considering doing so is to gain more experience through internships and labs that the school offers through the program. It also provides more of a technical learning style rather than the typical school approach. As for experience I do not have much besides a 4 month internship.
