Ca direct tax + cs course - worth it? !!!!

Dear all,

I am a CA Final student having cleared Group 2 in May 2015 Exams recently and will be appearing Group 1 in Nov 15 Exams.
 
I am actually very interested in Direct Taxes and wish to pursue a career in it [want to seek employment (but not go for practice) in the Direct Tax Department of a CA Firm]. I actually wanted some Career related advice.
 
Apart from doing CA Final, I have also passed my CS Executive Exams and planning to register in the CS Professional Course (Final).
 
My query is will the CS Degree have any impact/ add any value to my Tax profile or are the 2 courses poles apart i.e. having nothing in common. 
 
I am very confused whether to enrol for the CS professional Course. 
 
Thanks
 
Mohit
