If you're doing any degree strictly for an end goal you're going to be disappointed. I've seen people get great roles from a specialized masters and people fall on their face. Things are what you make it.
You'll get a great education, hopefully a good brand and new alumni connections and a memorable experience. What you do with it is on you.
