Concerns about my choice seeing this thread
I am considering a masters in bioinformatics in EU. I have always loved biology since I was in school and in my undergrad I ended up doing a bachelor's in tech (computer sciences and biosciences). I always wanted to take up bioinformatics at some point post my undergrad and that was always my goal.
I am applying this year and by the time I'd join any masters program, I'd have 2 years of experience in a healthtech startup doing a lot of ml/Data engineering work.
However I have been looking at reddit a lot to try to understand best colleges and maybe it's me but no one is having a good time 😭😭😭
Im really worried that I'll do a masters and I'll end up not finding a job. It's like a trade off of doing what I want to vs a stable life with money.
I understand that I'd probably be targeting a job market 3 years in the future and no one's experience right now may be the same 3 yesrs down the line but gods I feel very conflicted.
At the same time, my goal in life is genuinely to be happy where I am and money is secondary to some extent mainly because i recognise my privilege. But i can't live off that forever and need to forge my own independent path.
If I love it i should do it right?
