which field is actually worth pursuing now?

I completed my Bachelor of Public Health a few years ago, but since then I've worked across development programmes, TVET, research, and NGO/INGO settings rather than building a traditional public health career.

I am planning to migrate, and I’m considering a Master’s after moving. I’m trying to choose a field based on actual job prospects and long-term career potential, especially with AI changing the job market and competition becoming tougher even for experienced professionals.

I’ve considered public health, digital health, health informatics, health analytics, and other related fields, but I’m unsure what makes sense given that I’d need to rebuild many technical skills and don’t have a CS/IT or strong mathematics background.

If you were in my position, what field would you seriously consider for a Master’s, based on actual employability and future prospects rather than just what universities advertise?
