<p>My advice to you: forget getting a masters degree in computer science.
Focus on getting practical experience.</p>
<p>Learn a specific skill like: android development, iphone development, silverlight. Work your butt off, working on an independant project in your spare time. Make it something useful and cool, and release it. You don’t need to make that much money off it, but you can put that project on your resume.</p>
<p>Google and MS won’t hire you right away, but that kind of platform-specific skill can turn some heads and you can probably get a contract at a small company. Contracting jobs are very easy to get compared to full time and they are a good start! From there, once you have a contract or two, your lack of academic experience won’t be a big issue.</p>
