I'm now graduating from a BSC in Business Administration, and as I've mentioned in another thread (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/have-you-decided-what-you-want-to-be-5355827), I'm pretty clueless on how to continue from there, as I haven't decided what I like or can see myself doing in the future. I've stumbled upon a Master’s Degree, in Blockchain and Digital Currency.

The knowledge you can get from those expensive university degrees, you can also get from a varity of online course which mostly are also offered by notably universities for a part of the money. Just look at MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) sites like coursera.org, edx.org or udacity.com. They all offer courses and certificates in the blockchain space. Some are even free.

That's definitely true, I've used sites like Coursera and Edx.org before, however, the free version only provides you with the course's content. If you're willing to pursue a verified certification/degree, you'll have to pay an additional amount of money to receive it. Yes, you'll have all the contents of the course for free, but you'll be unable to display its completion on your CV.

They are a great learning tool, though, I've enjoyed every course I've enrolled into.

That is true, but the cost is far from that of a degree. If you want to have a certificate after you've completed the course you have to pay $50 to 150, depending on the course and provider. However, you have a big advantage over a degree. You decide if you pay afterwards not before. If you do a degree and fail, all your payments are gone. If you fail in a MOOC you have not lost anything, except time. I consider this a big advantage.

By the way, some providers even offer so called nano-degress which cost more than a certificate course but are still much cheaper as regular degrees and you still have a certificate from a well-known university.

That's one important detail I didn't mention, I've now enrolled an HTML/CSS course, I have full access to its contents and can decide after its completion if I want to pursue a verified certificate. It's definitely an important aspect, that you are actually capable of testing that you're paying for. There's a large variety of courses that I'd like to try them myself.

Getting a degree in blockchain or it's related courses should be a necessity if not madatory, reasons been that we are gradually embarking on a new digital era where vertually everything would be built on this new technology. Just like the era of smart phones which took so many unaware. This is coming like a new wave of high civilization that would launch a new era of mordenization which would build back the trust system through it's transparency and

I think it is good to always learn something deeply. I learning about bitcoin and I think there are so much knowledge that I still don't acquired. Now, I focus on Business management so maybe After I finish my study. I interested to become bitcoin related businessman but I am not limited for that. I will build a business but it will not only focus on cryptocurrency, maybe cryptocurrency will be a part of it but only for medium of payment option. I don't have any skill in programming, so maybe the business that I will build will only ease bitcoin adoption, cryptocurrency will not be the main product. I hope I can get enough knowledge and ability to do that in the future.

Becoming a crypto related business person in this day and age will surely give you a lot of experience that only a handful of people lived plus if you play your cards right then you will be very rich as well. There are still not a lot of companies in the world for crypto, even something as simple as exchanges, coinbase rules over USA, and yes there are few others but seriously in most other business' we have a million competition there, even if you want to buy something as simple as milk you see over a dozen different brands, which means coinbase should not be alone at the top and there should be dozens of other competitors.

This was just one example, if you become a crypto business person and have a little bit of money then eventually you could hit gold with it and become very rich since the market is still ripe for taking and you will be early in.

wait , did you personally chose the course or your only forced by your parents ? because there are doubts in your sentence .
i think whats next after your finish a study is you apply for a job related on the course you get . thats how you gonna see yourself but if your not happy with that , you can get the course that you saw .
if i have a time and money i will also take crypto or blockchain course more than the usual courses because they are more interesting .

That's quite a long story. When I chose my BSC degree, I wasn't sure of what I wanted to do/study, thus, I went with it without too much thought. It's a combination of poor choices and mental health complications.

I dunno why but for me, I dont choose any major just for a future career because I found my self always get job in another field which is different with my background major. So, if you choose the major for master degree I just suggest one thing. You have to know well ur self, what do you want to learn more spesific or what thing make you interested then you choose it. Dont think that how about career or another things, thats just a side effect which always change.

Well, the issue is that I'm not inclined towards something particular, I still haven't made up my mind on what I really want to do in the future, choosing a master's might also be a mistake, if I don't find what I really want to do.

You already do know that most companies are now investing in cryptocurrencies, big personalities are very eager to provide someone with a personal job who does specialize in this sector therefore I do think that you might have a lot of options if you do get the masters in cryptocurrencies for sure but that would also be dependent on the location, there are places where are more options available for people who did such courses, therefore you have to be ready to move any moment. There are already many companies undertaking small courses in which kids are enrolling, pertaining to cryptocurrencies and bitcoins, therefore I do think that, you have to see where you would have to apply because this will pay well but only if you choose well where you are going next. Planning is everything.

Blockchain and cryptocurrency you see growing trend in the business world now. Although I am not sure if having a masters degree in this area is necessary. I’ve seen people who have taken a one year course on blockchain and cryptocurrency, and they were able to get a really good job that pays very well with the certificate they got from the course.

But it’s still up to you, it wouldn't be bad if you are to have a masters degree in an area you are interested in, At least that would put you in a better position than others who are looking for the same jobs. So, what I’m trying to say is that if you are interested in blockchain and cryptocurrency and that's something you would like to do as your job, then go ahead and study it.

I've stumbled upon a Master’s Degree, in Blockchain and Digital Currency.

The courses are the following:

Required Courses:

Introduction to Blockchain and Digital Currency
Principles of Money, Banking and Finance
Law and Regulation in Blockchain
Blockchain and Entrepreneurship Management

Emerging Topics in Blockchain and Digital Currency

Selective Courses:

What are your thoughts about such a degree? Would you go for it? What career prospects would something like this have?

https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain-and-digital-currency-msc-distance-learning/

Currently blockchain and digital currency are quite hot industry and easy to get rich if you have a passion for cryptocurrency then I think you can join the course with your passion and I think here It's a pretty interesting course if it were me I would join immediately.

The world is crazy about crypto, if these courses are useful and in high demand, surely in the next twenty years, job opportunities will be extremely bright for those who pursue these fields.

It's a bit of a risky course to be taken though, things that we wished to happen would probably not happen, what if crypto totally collapses in the next 15 years? We don't know but at the same time we also want to pioneer in this industry so you can make more money.

Now, the development of blockchain continues to move so that the application of technology continues to grow.

To follow the flow of blockchain technology, qualified human resources are needed.

Many industries can benefit from the transparency and efficiency of recording data such as logistics, supply chain, health records, financial services, and so on.

So for that, all universities should open a special department of blockchain, because technological developments are very fast and have become the needs of all humans in the digital era like today.

It sounds like a perfect degree for the future to me. If that's something you're into, you should go for it. You already know how to run a business, and adding to this detailed knowledge of Blockchain and cryptos will help to get ideas on starting (or joining) a crypto-related business. Cryptos are getting more popular, and specialists will be in high demand. According to LinkedIn, blockchain was one of the skills that were in the highest demand in 2020 globally. It's probably good for your future career, and if you're interested in cryptos, it should be a degree you'll enjoy obtaining.

Exactly, OP's current degree combined with this is going to be a useful thing because they can make a lot of money plus it's a new industry compared to other giant industry out there so pioneering in here could be beneficial if you know what I'm saying.

If they have burning programs it would be better because the tuition fees of these majors are quite expensive. At least for now, when the pandemic is happening, the advantage of homeschooling is saving a lot of living costs. If possible, I look forward to online training.

Blockchain is a wonderful technology and Digital Currencies are an innovation to the modern world. However, I can't really understand where I could combine my Economics Degree with this Master's. I definitely cannot predict how such technologies are going to evolve, thus, it's highly doubtful to guess how I could possibly pursue a career in that field.

According to the disciplines listed above, you will have diverse working environments with blockchain such as legal consultant, blockchain architect, programmer...
If you want to be wildly successful in the blockchain, you will have to become a really talented person, or you just barely make a living. I think that bringing blockchain into all aspects of life is quite difficult and only a few businesses will take on that job.
