What should I choose MA economics or CAT or Data analytics?
I’m a 22F Economics graduate currently working in a decent-paying job, but not learning much and don’t see myself continuing in this long term.
I’ve given CUET-PG twice and don’t expect a top college this time. Not sure if doing masters in Economics from an average college is worth it, especially with weak placements.
I’m interested in moving into Data Analytics, but also worried about saturation/AI impact. I’m not actively looking to switch jobs right now because I feel data analyst roles require a master’s, and even if I switch, I’ll likely need to do a master’s in the next 2–3 years anyway.
My options:
- Take a mid college for MSc Economics
- Continue job + prepare for CAT
- Stay in job + build data skills and switch later
- Try switching to a better job now
Not comfortable taking a full drop due to risk.
What would you do in this situation?
