Ive realized I have a pretty good side interest in human psychology (human factors in particular) and have been playing with the idea of possibly pursuing a masters in that direction. Obviously with the current economical situation this is going to be delayed but in the even things settle down I would like to have my mind made up.
I understand it’s a bunch of extra work and would require some additional financial sacrifices but in terms of self fulfillment + increasing resume for potential future employment opportunities it is certainly tempting.
Is a masters worth it in the long run or would another circumstance after becoming a captain be better for my future? (Union position, company fatigue team, etc.) Thanks in advance, any feedback is greatly appreciated!
