Why decide to change direction after a Masters?

Is your current Master’s degree anything but a guiding light for your happiness? Do you want to change direction because :

  • you’re afraid of failure;
  • your current sector lacks outlets;
  • your training is inadequate or insufficient ;
  • your current school has a poor reputation;
  • you want to acquire more knowledge to improve your skills;
  • you want to target a very specific sector of activity,
  • you made a training choice by default and now you regret it;
  • you are disillusioned about your career path;
  • have you fallen in love with a new profession?

Which schools do you go to after a Masters?
