If I'm interested in privacy, what's the best thing to study if I'm going back to school for a master's degree?

You can also take the CIPP to get your toes wet and learn about the “what” of privacy. It costs less than a degree and would tell you how interested you are in it and whether a law degree is right for you. If you’re into the tech side (assuming that why you post in this bowl), take the CIPT

Great, thank you, I might start there then.

Do you have a specific aspect of privacy you want to focus on or feel passionate about? If it's just general privacy/security that interests you, a master's in cybersecurity could be a good fit. It would open some new doors for you.

And boy, there are SO many jobs in cybersecurity right now at serious $$$. We just lost three of our CS staff who jumped to make minimally 70% more than they were with us, and we were not dramatically underpaying. It would be a great thing to get into if that is the side you are interested in.

Wow, good to know!! What would you say is the most valuable knowledge for me to gain/area of study to be a good candidate?

There are privacy jobs open today at tech companies! I’d look for roles in health tech and edtech, where privacy is both regulated and a value proposition

We have one of these roles at my company, it’s definitely growing

Do you mean security or privacy more explicitly? If you really mean privacy, I would think a law degree. I work in healthcare where privacy is a lucrative legal degree to have.

I wonder if data engineering would be a useful path. What education do you have so far?
