Choosing a field in Masters.

Question

Hi,

I am a final year CS student. Gonna give my GRE later, but have made up my mind regarding going for a job experience and then for masters. I even got inspired by these post's

FIRST and SECOND..

But my main concern is, I like all the programing languages and also all that is actually related to computers like Networks and so. And when i look forward for my options in any core field i just dont know how my approach should be towards choosing any field. Is it something like i must open up my options after i finish my experience and then decide? or Should i make up my mind right away? Because for me an experience will come after i join a company and that is through my college campus recruitment.

Answer 1

In my opinion you should be waiting for the experience first before determining the field of study. I thought I would be more of a systems, web or software guy but my position took a sharp turn into networking then into information assurance. Now here I am getting a degree in information systems with a emphasis in IA. If you're on the fence about what field to concentrate on then I suggest waiting until you see the opportunity that really excites you and then go for the education that will propel you forward in your career.
