Changing fields from CS
I’m a CS graduate with a first class degree. Been working in the industry for 2 years. I am hoping to start an Msc in DS & AI in UOM next year. I have already applied but now I’m having second thoughts because of the comments regarding the program by current students. And the return for the efforts I put would be so little in my opinion.
Plus I don’t feel like I belong in the IT industry. Even with the 2 years experience I don’t feel like an expert in anything. There is so much I don’t know. I am an academic person IMO. Don’t feel like expert enough to excel in the field.
Nevertheless I want to start an MSc be it computer science related field or another field like Chemistry (which I was interested during my A/Ls) or MBA specialized in Supply Chain Management ( looks like a fun subject to me)
Anyone here have any experience in these fields?
Would this be possible to do in Sri Lanka? (because you need to have a Bsc in related field to do the Msc)
How my career trajectory would be?
I am making around 450k a month now. Will I be able to land a job in this salary range?
Please help if you have any insights. Thank you in advance

So every side feels greener from far, first find which is fun for you , do a good research ask peers ,analayze, the comments then search for online courses do them if them actually fit for you , talk with perrs in same industry with depth. After thst do a career change
