Why go for your masters when you have a great bachelors degree?? IT is in demand now, don't wait two-three years and when maybe IT grads wont be in so much demand or it might be more competitive. Plus you get a job after you receive your bachelors, and the company you work for might pay for you to go back to school(for your masters). This might not matter if you have scholarships, but if you don't this is a big deal. I hear more and more of people going straight to get their masters after just receiving your bachelors. Which, IMO, is really unnecessary unless your going to be a doctor/architect or in some field that requires a masters degree. Also, real world experience will help you in grad school. If you go straight into grad school what experience do you have outside of books and lectures?

I agree with the first answer completely. You should work for a couple of years then decide if you still want to pursuit an advance degree in computing. Maybe the choice will be MBA, audit or who knows what else is possible. Also the quality of your advance study would be greatly improved once you have real world experience. Your way of thinking and skills in developing opinion are greatly sharpen with work experience. Having said, if you are looking for more training in networking maybe professional certification is more appropriate. Microsoft and Cisco both offer certification programs and not to mention certificates will add great deal of value to your resume (more so than MS at this time in your career). If you have to continue study for visa purpose, then I would suggest IT forensic, audit and network security. Best wishes.
