Can you expand on your question a bit more?

Do you mean:

- whether it's relevant to getting employment or upgrading your employment?

- does it help with regards to furthering your education/interest when we have so many amazing learning resources for (often for free) online?

The most valuable thing I found in doing a tech related masters was meeting people with similar interests and professional aspirations. I don't think that can be replicated online so easily. Was it worth the money or did it help with gaining my current position? - probably not.
