M.S. in Chemical Engineering Interested in Informatics

In summary, the speaker completed a M.S. in Chemical Engineering but has discovered a passion for Informatics. They chose to self-teach and have had success learning and finding others interested in the field. However, they are considering going back to college for exposure and to have experts review their work. Another person suggests working at a company like Detica and then pursuing further studies, rather than pursuing two masters degrees back-to-back.

Dear all,

I recently completed a M.S. in Chemical Engineering and I am finding that I lost my drive. I am instead more passionate about Informatics. I opted for trying to learn things on my own because I did not want to take on debt to pay for college. It worked out considerably well. I learned more than I expected, and I found people interested in informatics as well. I also found projects and papers to study, as well as a hackerspace with people who were knowledgeable about computers. However, I wonder whether it would be useful (and worth it) to go back to college for exposure and to have experts in the field review my work.

Try working at somewhere like first Detica, then doing further study after, I don't think its the best idea to do 2 masters after each other, well that's the way it is in the UK anyway .. unless you're looking to do a PHD
