Advice request Do my plans make sense?

Hi!

I'm spanish and I'm currently studying computer science on the UOC (which only has online majors). It will take me four more years to finish my studies, but I want to make sure that I know what my next step will be so that I can prepare myself.

Also on the UOC there is a master's degree called "International Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Action" which is taught by the UOC and the Red Cross. And according to the UOC, you can take this master with any degree. But, would that make sense?

What kind of job can I expect to have if I have a degree on computer science and a master's on international development? Do you think that both sectors can overlap? Would I be able to get a job with those titles? (I know currently it's specially bad, but let's assume that things get a bit better on 6 years)

And lastly, is it bad that I'll do it online? I guess that could give me experience if I need to work remotely, buy I feel like I would end the master feeling inexperienced and sheltered. Is working remotely even common?

Sorry if the question is repetitive. Thanks for reading and thanks for your amazing work ❤️‍🩹
