degree

I'm currently a software engineer in India and have been working for 3,5 years. Before recession started I decided to study further and planned for a Master of Science degree in computer science in Fall09, since I want to explore more of this field. I have got an admission in Univ of Texas @ Dallas.

I am confused about whether I should go for studying at the time of recession or not and how the market will be once I graduate in 2011 Jan.

Any views will be appreciated.
