Thanks for query 

One reason to earn a master's degree in computer science is because it can provide a foundation for a career in technology research and development. Jobs in the computer science industry can typically be found in a company's information technology department, a government agency, or a non-profit entity. 

For individuals already working in the information technology sector, a master's degree program may provide a career boost by enabling professionals to expand their expertise in the field. For example, a master's degree program gives students specialized skills in one or more areas of technology, including network security, software development, or artificial intelligence. 

Another reason is to prepare for future entrance into a Ph.D. program. In these programs, students can take advanced courses and gain the research skills that they need to prepare for successful admission into a Ph.D. program. Depending on the school, they may even be able to apply some of the credits they earn toward a Ph.D. in the future. 

A master's degree in computer science can also increase salary potential. According to a 2016 PayScale.com report, a master's degree in computer science and engineering was the 15th highest-paying of all graduate degrees. Early career pay was reported to be $95,900, and mid-career pay jumped to $134,000 per year.
