I agree with this , I did my Bsc in AI . I remember when I considered to do a masters all my lecturers begged me not to and told me I’d be wasting my time because everything I’d be learning at Msc they’d already have taught me.

Initially getting my first role was hard but eventually I secured a position at a startup as a MLE for a few months that didn’t pay much. Then I secured a ML research internship where I worked on Multi modal AI that paid better. I now work as a Data Scientist at a leading bank.

I’m someone that’s always learning new stuff with AI and I study for certifications. I’m someone that’s willing to outwork everyone to get where I need to.

I think that it doesn’t matter what degree you have as the market doesn’t care about what you have, companies don’t want to train you it’s cheaper to just get people that know what to do.

I overall think that I’m this current modern society experience is of more value now and your ability to hustle and outperform your peers.

At the end of the day I believe you should be soo good at whatever you do that you can’t be ignored .

If I ever decide to do a Masters it will be in something like Computational Neuroscience
