My honest answer is "I wasn't doing the degree just for the title and if i had continued, i would have spent valuable time for it, but neither my work in my job nor my thesis would be good enough. So i had to make a tough decision and focused on my work. Although it might look like a waste of time but the courses i took helped me a lot with my work which was leading a massive change in our software architecture. If i hadn't taken these courses, we would be at least 1 year behind our requirements plan."
