Ask HN: If you had to get a non-tech masters degree, what would you go for?

2•highwayman47•1h ago
Is there any specific program / college / etc outside of tech that you would want to study if you could?

Comments

I like finance and business, not sure if I'd go to a masters but anyone doing tech is well rewarded for doing at least some business classes.

Study what you don't know and what is outside your area, and you become substantially more valuable.

E.g., a techie who has some legal understanding or a lawyer with tech experience vs those without.

I would probably go for natural resources management or population biology.

Masters degrees are (from my experience in the US workforce) generally only professionally useful when there is an explicit requirement for one set by a professional standards body or codified in law. As in, you usually need a masters to get tenure as a teacher in a public school, and some government jobs have specific and inflexible degree requirements. But for private sector employment, masters degrees are mostly just for personal enrichment.
