I&#x27;ve seen people arguing that you don&#x27;t need a degree.<p>I think getting a BS in Comp Sci was the best decision I&#x27;ve made.<p>It made me well rounded and I&#x27;ve done many different things within the field of comp sci (web dev, full stack, mobile, etc...).<p>But I&#x27;m going back for a master in statistic so I can do data science. I don&#x27;t believe a master in comp sci would help much because I have the foundation of BS in Comp Sci to pick up most comp sci book and further myself in CompSci.
