OVERVIEW:

With AI on the horizon, the economic sectors will be changing in the coming years and very quickly. 

In general, those who have a broader range of skills can expect to be more employable and have greater flexibility in career choices.  Thus, there is a trend away from 2-year Master programs. 

The focus, for professionals, is shifting to gaining additional skills in their fields that will make them more marketable internationally.   In other words: gain more skills, in shortest time, at least cost.
