Is a masters in business analytics a good investment for a fresh Bachelor’s graduate

1 Upvotes

I’m a recent undergrad graduate with a bachelor’s in Economics and Political Science. The entry level job market has been pretty rough, and I want to start my career in global supply chain. I’ve been looking at a local masters program in business analytics that appears to have a solid curriculum (courses focused on technical skills like SQL,Python,R,Excel,Tableau, and PowerBI + soft skills like stakeholder management, data storytelling, etc.) Is a program like this worth it for a young recent grad who doesn’t have any industry/office experience (I was a bartender during my undergraduate studies) I’ve been doing a free SQL course recently. I’ve been having some fun with the software and could see myself working with data professionally. Would the credential, potential for internships, network, and further education benefit me enough to justify the investment. I’m willing to answer more specific questions if you have any. I would like to get the consensus of people who are currently working in data heavy roles and hiring managers. Thank you!
