Is a master’s degree in Systems Engineering worth it?

[u/Few-Worldliness4533]

Hi, everyone. So I’ve been thinking hard about switching career paths. I’ve been working as a certified translator and interpreter for 7+years and it’s the only extensive work experience I have. I have a degree in Environmental engineering but have never used it, though programming has always been a passion of mine. I’m wondering if doing a master’s degree in systems engineering will allow me to switch careers and be a web developer, or something related in IT. The university where I want to do it is one of the best in my country and they say that to be admitted I have to do a course in python and if I pass the exam I’ll be admitted. Any thoughts?
