    My advice would be to focus yourself on getting a job in your chosen field, rather than engage in years of extra study and preparation. This advice might come across as a bit flippant, but I think the solution to your problem could be quite simple;

    -> find a job title that looks interesting
    -> find out what you need, to obtain a job matching the title, and decide whether it's worth the dedication
    -> get the skills and experience required
    -> apply for job matching chosen title
    -> switch

    • You told him not to study extra, but then tell him to get the experience required. Which is it?monospaced
    • Yeah sorry, that's not too clear - I mean aim for a specific job, rather than take a course which will increase a general range of skills.lukus_W
    • skills. (if that makes sense?)lukus_W
    • I'm often tempted to go and do an MA, but then stop myself - because I don't think the MA would necessarily lead to a specific job I'm after.lukus_W
    • specific job I'm after.lukus_W
    • I totally get it. I now see that experience and education aren't exactly the same.monospaced
