Hi. I hope this reaches enough people. I’m a 2022 Comp Sci undergrad, currently a Programmer Analyst with 1+ YOE.
I currently like my job, and what I do. I wouldn’t mind doing it for a while, but I simply don’t get paid enough. Only $56k. I talked to my manager about a raise or promotion and he said it wouldn’t be possible since it’s a government contracting job and the company I work for can only offer me as much as the government is willing to pay, essentially.
So I’ve been looking for a new job. In looking for a new job, I was wondering if I should go to grad school and get a M.S. Two degree programs that intrigued me were GIS and Bioinformatics.
GIS actually kinda ties into what I do right now a little bit as a “Satellite software specialist”. But jobs related to this field seemingly don’t pay all that much.
Bioinformatics sounds truly interesting, but I’m concerned my lack of educational experience in biology would make this difficult to pursue.
I’m hoping I can get advice on this, if pursuing an M.S. is truly worth it and if so, how feasible would either of these degrees be with my limited background and in terms of financial returns
TL;DR: looking for a job that pays more and wondering if a M.S. in bioinformatics or GIS would be possible and/or worth it.
