Nurse reading a master's degree in IT?
My real dream was to study psychology, I was very interested in the research field, but not in the actual field of therapy, so I loved the idea of studying it but not of working with it, also my math level wasn't high enough and I didn't wanted to take math at a higher level.
I have a bachelor in nursing. The pay and the terms did that I couldn't imagine staying in the field for too long. I worked as a nurse for 2 ½ years before going back to university, I still work as a nurse now 8-24 hours per week.
So I looked at different master's I could take with my bachelor's degree in Nursing.
I applied for a master's degree in IT and in global health. Global health sounded more interesting to me, but I only got accepted into the programme for the master's degree in IT. I started, I am now halfway and have a year left. I thought I could shape my own profile and I still think that it opens up a lot of doors, more than global health probably.
But I am going back in a week after a long summer's holiday, I am reading the litterature for the first week.
While I have been getting good grades, a lot of the time (especially when reading about innovation, digital transformation, etc.) I don't know what I am reading or why it makes a difference. It sometimes feels like 10 pages is used to describe something that could have been said in one or two sentences. I get a sense of the Emperor's New Clothes. It is not that I don't understand it, but it is so extremely boring.
I start to fear if a master's degree in IT will bring along opportunities, especially since my background is in health care and isn't technical?
