Which master's degree unlocks the coolest jobs post-grad?
I have a degree in CS and a degree in Applied Math but 10 years of working as a SWE my math skills have certainly deteriorated. Non-target random state school undergrad w/ average GPA, a very high GRE score, and well respected brand name companies on resume (as a SWE).
In terms of my interest in the above options 2 > 3 > 4 >> 1
I know plentttty of PhDs doing menial engineering jobs or stuck in post-doc hell so I'm not sold on a PhD. I could be convinced though depending on certain factors.
The ideal would be a master's program that leads to an actual engineering specialization that is worth it. Has anybody graduated with a Master's in Robotics, Bioinformatics, Mechatronics, etc. and found the job prospects on the other side to be worth the effort? If I self studied state-estimation, control theory, and worked at a company doing ROS programming would that get me to the same place?
