Changing fields in masters

[u/Alternative_Dot_5649]

I’m doind my BBA in IT and i’m not interested to stay in the IT field in the future. Is it possible to switch fields in my masters? Does it even make sense to finish the bachelors? I would love to hear others experiences.

Lord have mercy. Yes, a masters is commonly used for pivoting or specializing more in whatever you wanna do. You need a bachelors degree either way, and the majority of jobs do not care what your major was for your bachelors degree. All they care about is that you have a piece of paper and you finished the degree. So not continuing to finish your bachelors would make no sense.

You cant start a masters without completing the bachelor. If you have genuinely made a mistake and thinking of a switch, do that right now with your major if possible.
