Looking for advice on changing field: another masters, or begin job search?
H

Hey everyone! I am currently at the end on my masters, and have been recently faced with the revelation that I do not like my field. This occured during a research internship at a company whete I suffered a close burnout due to stress. Since my bachelors, I have followed a heavily quantitative path, in something equivalent to mathematical economics and statistics, and have continued in my masters of quantitative finance. I am a fairly good student (have a 2:1 degree in UK equivalent), but I do not enjoy what I do. I have been looking into going into a completely different field, where I can motivate and help people (I have been looking to HR management and public administration and well as psychology). It is a bit hard as I am trying to narrow down the fields that will suit me and I would enjoy and get some sense of fulfillment. However,I have also been questioning If taking another masters is a good route, as it would also be possible for me to apply for employment in the fields i am interested in. The main concern for me is that with such a technical background it would be a bit odd if I apply for such jobs and would not be considered suitable. Any thoughts or advice?
