Im scared my masters will be worthless?
Due to unfortunate circumstances during my undergraduate, I ended up getting a 2:2 from a mid tier Russel group university. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get on to any internships either due to my visa restrictions at that time. Although I no longer have those restrictions, my credentials are making it difficult to secure literally anything in tech.
To circumvent this, I decided to apply for the best masters programmes that would accept 2:2s and I got into a decent Machine Learning Msc again at a mid tier Russel group uni (top 100 internationally at least, so hopefully not too bad), and tbh it's a miracle I even got in so I am very happy. The course is THOROUGH and it does provide some great in depth modules with very interesting content overall. However, I have certain thoughts that come across my mind such as 'if I couldn't secure a role without the masters, is the masters going to be enough to push me in?' or in general about AI and how it's making the market so much more difficult to get into.
The thing is, I do have interest in machine learning due to the amount of mathematics and I love maths and solving problems. I'm just worried about my future should I decide to go with this. Its also going to be a part time masters because I can't afford to do a full time one at the moment, but I'll still be able to access internships and network there better than in my undergrad.
Any thoughts on this? Any advice? Sorry if it came off as a venting post, but I really do just want some realistic advice about what this masters could do for me, and whether or not there will be value added.
Edit: I have full citizenship now so the visa isn't an issue any longer. Just thought I'd clarify!
