Data science degree worth it?

I am trying to transition from a business analyst to data scientist. I was wondering would a post graduation in the same be worth the expense and effort? Or having a significant presence in the community ( like kaggle, analytics vidya etc) is enough?

If degree is a good to have then please recommend which one.

Thanks in advance!

I never found analytics vidya to be enough though.
