My opinion is that justifying postgrad is hard, unless it's something you have strong passion for that also requires the degree program to achieve (ie; teaching, medicine, law). A few exceptions being if an employer is paying the entire cost, or if it's a top school where the networking value is extremely high.

Why can't you do that now? Why is grad school a necessary step for this? Can you learn the skills yourself, build something yourself, start a business, or work at a tech startup? What's your goal?

If your goal is to immerse yourself in tech and be a part of building something, what if you spent the equivalent time (18-24 months) in SF/bay area working at tech startups instead of going through a masters program?
