A Master's degree in Computer Science can change your life.
I went to Georgia Tech's Master's program. I graduated with a Machine Learning specialization. This is one of the best decisions I've made in my life.
Here is every class I took and how much money I paid.

The list of classes (3 credits each):
1. Machine Learning 2. Computer Vision 3. Reinforcement Learning 4. Intro to Graduate Algorithms 5. Machine Learning for Trading 6. Database Systems Concepts and Design 7. Software Development Process 8. Software Architecture and Design
9. Human-Computer Interaction 10. Advanced Operating Systems 11. Software Analysis and Testing
33 total credits (you only need 30 to graduate.) It took me 4 years to go through all the classes (2015-2019). I was 35 when I started.
I paid $9,020 for the whole thing. That's it!
Today, my career is centered around Machine Learning.
The Master's program motivated me to get into the field and the core foundation I needed to start.
No, you don't need a graduate degree to be successful, but it's a nice option if you can make it happen.
There's another option, thou.
Every day I come to Twitter to share what I learn.
