I finished my Bachelor in computer science over 4 years ago. Now I'm considering going for a Masters degree, but I don't see a masters in computers helping out very much in my career. I'm not really sure what program to consider. I've had some suggestions from others, and even though $100k jobs sound nice, I don't want to hate what I do.

I'm sick of computer support but still want to use my IT knowledge. I think a lawyer with an IT background and strong understanding of the field would be quite marketable, but I don't think I'm about to start law school any time soon. So what else can I mix my background with?

What about a bioinformatics conversion course?
They are crying out for people who can do bio-sciences and computer sciences.

Yeah, IT in the business sector is a fairly mundane, stressful, irritating thing, punctuated by management stupidity and obfuscation.

If I had the chance, I'd probably look at some mechanical engineering, using computers to do something a little more interesting is the main thing though, whether it's design, engineering, medical - anything would be more interesting than the business sector IMO.

Picking up on Van B's point, there are lots of products, machines and processes that require computer control or connecting to IT infrastructure. Some products require programming of micro processors (sorry if I used outdated language) and others use programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

The product I work on uses both (although we don't do it all in house) and also has remote control, monitoring and data logging options that can hook into web-browsers over the internet and or phone lines, which requires more of any IT bias than engineering as such.

I'd say that electronics or electrical engineering is a better fit if you want to use "computers to do something a little more interesting", as it requires more knowledge of how electrical components are intergrated into the control hardware.
