Can I suggest an alternative for a Masters - the MCom in Computer Auditing at the University of Johannesburg. I recently obtained mine and I'm sure you would utterly ace it with your CA and BSc Hons. True, some writing skill is required but I don't see the problem there for you.

The only drawback you'd face is time, although it is quite quick and compressed over the space of two years and is more coursework based than other Masters. Just be aware that you write four five hour exams along the way - but again I'm sure you're familiar with those :).

I have to ask you something though since I'm caught between doing either a Doctorate, MBA or a more IT related degree next. Should I follow the path of doing a conventional IT degree, or what of the SSCP or CAP (see www.isc2.org), since I'd like to focus on IT security and matters related to encryption?

In truth a Doctorate would be more an ego boost and I'm now hesitating doing an MBA.

Part of me would enjoy doing something totally different, just for the fun of it, but another part of me just wants to crank things out quickly, which means sticking with what I know. But arguably something like Ruby would be quick to develop with once I've gotten comfortable with it, so it gets a bit circular ;-)

If you wanted to do something really awesome for the world, learn Ruby and modify Matisse to produce Ruby GUI code.

Am I talking to myself again? Seriously, if you want to learn a language for the love of it, learn Ruby.

If you want something different, I have a few suggestions.....
