Does this even matter? I wanted to do my masters in person here in Chicago because i thought it would give me some kind of advantage being from a local school and making local connections etc. but the cost is so high vs some of these online programs. I guess i could also get an associate in information systems as well at some community college. But i don’t really know anymore. I was ready to commit to the masters program but after seeing the price tag and the fact that graduate degrees don’t get any grants for financial aid, it turned into a nightmare.

The idea of “making connections” isn’t even a guarantee, just a thought. But also i think i learn better in the classroom. But id be willing to trade that for significantly less debt.

Been looking for a new career. I've spoken to a couple AI chatbots just to get an idea of what i can do for my masters. i didn't study anything worth while in undergrad, got an arts degree, and now i want to study something else. These chat bots keep pointing toward Management Information Systems as this "future proof, perfect degree" (they don't really say that, but they sure do sell it as a very good degree), and i even see MIS as one of the best ROI degrees on some lists. So i'm wondering if you all think it's actually a great degree to pursue?

yes i've looked into it already, sounds like something i'd enjoy, i'm just so skeptical with AI replacing jobs and this sounds like one of those fields AI will definitely replace. But AI is telling me that it's pretty safe. I'm just wondering why it seems adamant on pointing me in this direction. Personally, some other degrees sounded more intriguing but every time i wanted AI to compare them (in terms of employability, stability, pay etc.), it always made MIS come out on top as the one i should go for.
