I have found that having a Master's of Science on my resume' has been invaluable.
I am 66 years old software Engineer, I would highly recommend a Master's of Science in virtually any Math, and/or Engineering discipline except Chemistry where i would recommend no less than a PhD unless you want to be a lab monkey all your life.
I worked at SRI International in Menlo Park for 13 years. In Electrochemistry right out of College UC Davis
Until I received my second and eventually 3rd Master's of Science I was considered a "Super Tech" by the PhD people there; i.e. a Lab monkey some one who carried out their (PhD's) programs When I found errors in their Math, or incompatibilities in their reasoning I earned their respect enough to be included in their (PhD's) planning but that took over 7 years.
Now that I have been effectively a Software Engineer for over 25 years, and taught my self Deep Learning, Python, and C++ I am commanding a rate of 80 per hour W2 but that required over 15 years and lots of learning.
So prove you can learn by obtaining a least 2 Master's of Science in somewhat related fields Like some Engineering, and Applied Math and things will be easier for you and somewhat more "fun"
