Hello!
A masters degree is a great goal to work towards. If I were you, I would look into what I wanted to
do; Masters degrees usually specialize in a field. I would scan the job market for the specific job
that I liked, and focus my degree concentration on that. But retain some survivability.
I got an associate degree in electronics and mechanical drafting/design engineering. This gave me
survivability in most manufacturing jobs, specifically aimed at Engineering Technician. Later on,
I thought, I would pursue a higher degree, focused more on what developed in the job market and
my interests. I wanted to go into Robotics, but in my area, people would burn you at the stake for
speaking of it.
( They feared job security?
) Anyway, $ is always a concern, so use your
ability to focus on what you want, but be aware of what you need. Good Luck!!
