Need honest Advice Ms or something else
Hey everyone. I’m really confused about my future degree and need genuine advice from people already studying or working in these fields.
Right now I’m doing a Software Engineering diploma from Aptech� and I also have interest in creative stuff like graphics designing, editing, content creation, branding, etc.
Now I’m thinking about doing a degree in Media Science, but I keep hearing mixed opinions. Some people say it has good scope in digital marketing, production, social media, UI/UX, branding, advertising, content creation, and creative industries. Others say the job market is unstable and oversaturated.
At the same time, software engineering/tech also seems scary right now because everyone talks about AI, layoffs, and tough competition.
So I wanted honest opinions from real people:
What is the actual scope of Media Science in 2026 and the future?
Is it a good combination with software engineering skills?
Which field has better opportunities/freelancing potential?
If you were starting today, what would you choose and why?
Are there specific skills in Media Science that are actually valuable in the market?
I’m from Karachi if that helps with market context.
Would really appreciate realistic advice instead of sugarcoating
