    Hi,
    I'm thinking of pursuing the above mentioned course part-time on a 2 year basis in UCD. It consists of 3 weeks of lectures (3 Modules * 1 Week) per year and also a dissertation from May to Dec of the 2nd year.
    I have 15 years experience in the Software Industry and also a First Class Honours degree in Software Engineering.
    I have a 2 year old son and my wife and I will possibly be having another child in the next few years, so I'm in 2 minds as to whether I should pursue this.
    My employers said they will give me the 3 weeks off to attend the lectures so that's fine.
    I'm just wondering, is it worth it? Will it make much difference to my career? Will it be too intensive, with family and work commitments? I guess these are natural questions for me to be asking.
    Anyone else ever been in the same boat. Would appreciate any thoughts from people in my position. At the moment I'm 50-50 as to whether I'll do it or not. All input welcome.
