so at this point, my interest in going back for a master's degree (my bachelor is in physics), is because I just want to find a job. But this time I want to be smarter about it than I was the first time around. I want to go in with a plan. When I'm working on my Applied Physics degree, I can get a "general applied physics" education, or I can get one that is focused. based on my experience with my bachelor's degree, I think it best to focus my master's degree towards a career in something specific. I need to learn some useful skills that can get me employment.
I realize there are numerous career opportunities available, but what are the most "realistic" ones? I mean what are the ones that I will be most likely to find work in? Some careers are so obscure that they only have one position on the planet. Others have many openings but 10,000 applicants applying for those openings. Are there any "realistic" ones that I might actually have a chance of getting if I focus my degree towards it?
At this point I just want something to shoot for. I may like it, I may not. If I don't, I'll be ok if I am well-compensated. And I'll have an experience to enable me to redirect my focus.
edit: when I say well-compensated, I would be ecstatic to make more than 50k a year.
