Is it worth accepting the offer for MSCSO?

Hey everyone,

I recently graduated with a CS degree from UTSA. Earlier this year I contemplated attending grad school, primarily because I was not sure what I was going to do next after graduation. Being aware that I fell to the common trope of grad school as the “natural next step”, I sought to ask around to some of my professors and friends I knew who attended/attend grad school in search of their experience. Overall, by the end of my last semester I was very burnt out, and even now I can’t really think of going back to the academics climate. Most importantly, I’ve taken a more pragmatic approach to seek a job at this time for actual experience rather than just theory/assignment based content in CS. One last comment I have to make is that I have heard from former members of the MSCSO program at UT that the courses and their instruction were lackluster and not well organized. Personally, I had enough of that at UTSA so I am skeptical to accept my acceptance offer for the program.

What are ya’ll’s thoughts on this dilemma? Thanks!
