STEM degree at lower uni vs humanities degree at higher uni (Kinda Urgent)
Just completed a degree in criminology - I have two offers for masters degrees currently. UCL for crime science with cybercrime, and QMUL for a conversion course in computing. I'm extremely unsure about which will be better for monetary gain in future + more doors opened/increased employment chance. Someone help?

Research has found that STEM and non-STEM graduates in the UK have similar career outcomes and salaries within 10 years of graduating: https://figshare.le.ac.uk/articles/report/The_employment_trajectories_of_Science_Technology_Engineering_and_Mathematics_graduates/10234421
This was however focusing on undergraduate study. I would suggest pursuing the masters which is more relevant to the area you wish to work in ultimately.

Ty, but like - if you were in my shoes, what would be better overall for future? Regardless of where I may want to work.
Well I couldn't really advise as I personally wouldn't be interested in either of those courses
I will say though if you're not specifically aiming for a career in the computing sector though I don't think a CS masters will add anything that the other one won't however.
