Re:Only do your masters on a topic you will use (Score 1)

I got a PhD with a thesis in wireless networks and now I work in the field of high-end image processing. A PhD (and a Master too) should give you not only specific competences but a "forma mentis" to reason and solve problem: it should not give you tools but it should teach you the way to build your own tools.
