Should I go on for a Masters degree in Computer Science or train for certifications?

I will be finishing undergrad college this year with a degree in Computer Science and I was wondering if it would be better career wise to get certifications such as MCSE or should I find a college with a masters program in Computer Science and take that?

Get an MBA. If your undergrad is in CS you need the business skills now, not more computer skills. The programming is going overseas. You need the business acumen and project planning to compete now.
Reply:WITH THE ADVANCE IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SEEKING JOBS NOW AND THE EFFECT THAT GLOBALISATION IS HAVING ON THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD ONLY THE FITEST WILL SURVIVE SO I SUGGEST YOU DO THE DEGREE AS THIS WILL GIVE YOU AN ADVANTAGE OVER THE OTHER PEOPLE SEEKING JOBS AND PLUS WITH A DEGREE FROM A WELL RECOGNISED INSTITUTION YOU MIGHT EVEN GET A MANAGING POSITION...............IF YOU ARE SEEKING TO WORK IN A SUITABLE POSITION AND WISH TO GET THE RECOGNITION YOU DESERVE GO DO THE DEGREE A BIT LONGER BUT MUCH BETTER
Reply:Depends on your ultimate goals and what sort of career path you'd like to go toward.





A certification might help if you want to specialize in one area or another (software platforms, network services, operating systems).





A Masters will help if you want to broaden or diversify (media design, digital media, computer-based research).
Reply:That depends on what you want to do in the future. Certifications are typically faster to obtain (timewise), but, as they tend to be very specific (software/technology/version) they need to be renewed/upgraded on a regular basis. Also, a certification pigeon-holes you into a certain track.


A Master's in Computer Science will continue teaching you the fundamentals and common links of computer science, and will not typically be bound to a specific technology / software / version, providing more flexible career choices in the future; however, it will take more time to accomplish and will cost more.
