Re: MS in information security

I come from a unique perspective. I had a successful position within a large 
software company that paid well, allowed me to grow, and had upward mobility 
(albeit on the technical track). I walked away from that position to finish my 
BSBA and earn a MSIT. As I look back, I am glad I made the choice to walk away 
from a good job to finish my degree. 

What you have to ask you self is why the degree is important to you. Do not go 
back simply to make more money becuase you may not. If you are driven by 
learning new things and being able to dig deep to gain understanding, look for 
a program that will give you that opportunity. 

As to money, I personally think not having a degree will begin hurting people 
more in the future. The IT field is professionalizing. With that you will have 
a breakdown between educated and non-educated employees. Which do you think 
will be making more, have more responsibility, and find work in the lean times.
