And of course the answer is maybe. If you just intended to increase your general CS knowledge or to increase specific knowledge in the area you have worked for the last 6 years, NO it isn't. Your on-the-job experience very nearly puts you on the Masters level already and you probably won't get much more money for your effort. However if you are studying in a new area of CS then getting your MSCS in that specialty is a good way to "change careers". >Thank you. >Steve Morris... srm@matrix.com > Your welcome, Patrick L.
