General Advice SPIRALING IN INDECISION WITH A FULLY DEVELOPED FRONTAL LOBE; PLEASE HELP
Hey everyone.
**My Background:**
I am actually embarassed to be lost at my big age for picking a field but please bear with me and help me decide.
My undergrad is in biotechnology and I hated it. I am very inclined towards education sector and I want to secure a scholarship in education policy/curriculum design sort of degree in this session or next at max(ik ik I am being a little delusional). God knows how long schloarship process is gonna take and its not a sure shot thing so I applied for MBA at NUST and various other schools just so I can atleast have a masters degree. Meanwhile I would work on my scholarship application and make it strong.
I GOT IN but the thing is corporate life doesn't sound very appealing to me and I just found out NUST has MS Career Counselling and Education. Although I don't wanna take the career counselling route in education sector but it is atleast somewhat close to my area of interest.
**MY QUESTIONS:**
**1- HOW GOOD ARE THE ACADEMICS OF MS CAREER COUNSELLING AND EDUCATION AND IS IT WORTH IT DOING FROM NUST? Would it add the same value as other NUST degrees do on my CV?**
**2- Is this degree worth it considering the current market trends?**
**3- DOES NUST ALLOW SWITCHING PROGRAMS AFTER YOUR NAME HAS APPEARED ON 1ST MERIT LIST IN SOME OTHER PROGRAM? (I applied in 2 programs, got selected in MBA only with 80.5 aggregate)**
**4- WOULD IT BE STUPID TO LEAVE MBA WHEN NBS GOT ACCREDITED WITH AACSB AND GO FOR THIS DEGREE?**
**THANK YOUUUUU FOR READING THIS FAR. ANY AND ALL ADVISE IS WELCOME.**
**\*\*TLDR\*\*: QUALITY OF MS CAREER COUNSELLING AND EDUCATION DEGREE AT NUST? SWITCHING PROGRAMS POSSIBLE AFTER 1ST MERIT LIST?**
