A prof in my Uni has also said, studying Computer Science to be a developer is like studying architecture (of the building kind) to be a house builder.
Well, with training from YouTube courses you can build a site using React. With a Masters degree, you can build React yourself from scratch.
I never completed my Masters, but the grad courses I took were invaluable. That said, I already knew how to program at a professional level so I got more out of the classes.
Luckily we're very well-paid builders...
