I know this has been posted before, I was looking through the posts and most of them recommended not getting the degree. I was a biomedical engineer in college, but didn’t go into the field, currently working as a QA manager at a tech company. I finished a bootcamp, but have had an incredibly hard time finding a job in the current market. I want to try to get a job in the AI field as I think the applications and growth are expanding and I’m just really interested in the topic generally. I would have to take pre-requisites and the cost would not be a major financial burden. I’m curious if I grind and network during an online program, while I work, if the degree will be worth it. My objective would obviously be to get a new position after finishing the degree. I know some people have had bad experiences, but they kind of feel like doctors telling people not to become doctors due to being jaded. From what it sounds like, the people who are really sought after, are people with PHDs in the field rather than masters graduates. All that said, I do recognize that this is primarily an investment in my future and education. Any advice would be helpful, thanks in advance!
