[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone — hoping to get some perspective.

My daughter is a rising junior at an Ivy League school, majoring in Computer Science. She just finished an internship at a Big Tech company and got a return offer, which is exciting. Now she’s trying to figure out what direction to take for the next two years. She's considering either:

Going for a concurrent [b]Master’s in AI[/b], which aligns with her current major and internship experience,
or
Shifting gears and completing the requirements for med school, something she’s also seriously interested in.

She genuinely enjoys both fields — tech and medicine — and is having a hard time choosing. 
If anyone’s been through something similar or has any advice (as a parent, student, or professional), we’d really appreciate your thoughts. How do you choose between two very different paths?

Thanks in advance![/quote]

Do you know what this means?  Usually, these generic AI degrees aren't as valuable as say a Masters in Machine Learning or other specific area.

My kid claims a Masters on its own doesn't move the needle much, but rather just a step towards a PhD which is quite valuable.  [/quote]
