MO role + masters in computer science -- make the jump to trading/trading assistant?

I wanted to get some thoughts on getting a masters in computer science to try to make the jump into trading. currently work in middle office at a big investment manager. applied to various programs and got accepted. Could continue to work up and get masters at night.

Was wondering how much weight a Masters in Computer Science at a pretty well known engineering school would add to the resume? at least open doors for interviews?
