My current situation: local uni grad (second upper hons), regret choice of degree, employed in a horrible job I dread going to most days
Been job hunting for around 6 months plus, but little luck. So thought of going to do a Masters to open more options for myself and hopefully can enter a field I'm more interested in, as I have little passion for the industry related to my bachelors degree.
But earlier today I received a job offer where the job scope, environment and work-life balance is an improvement from my current job. Quite decent, but it's still something I'd be tolerating rather than enjoying. But now I'm wondering whether I should decline the offer and go study, so that in the long term I have the chance to be more fulfilled. I'm male, so I did
NS, not very young anymore, and I think if I want to try a career switch it has to be now.
Though there's the fear that studying Masters, though enjoyable and personally fulfilling to me, might not guarantee a job, and it's a huge time and money investment. Maybe it's better to just take the offer and play safe.
What do you guys think?
ps. Assume I can't work and study as I'm the Masters degree I'm considering is at an overseas university, also I'm not rushing to get married or buy house/car or anything like that...
