Nobody outside the program will ever know which path you took to get the degree.

Will they not notice the overlap between a job and the programme?

[spookthesunset]

Even if they do notice, anybody who was ever in a school with both a full time and an evening program knows that there are tradeoffs to both. Working a real, full time day job and then taking school on nights and weekends is not easy.

I've had a job since I was ~15 years old and have a masters in CS. No one has ever wondered about the overlap.

I also did my Masters part-time. Noone’s ever mentioned it, but it’s pretty obvious that that’s what I did from the dates.
