You have to get into a Masters (/or PhD) degree with the mindset of learning more about a specific field. If you take random courses, you'll just end up learning about a bunch of stuff which will be obsolete in a few years that you will never use.

Exploration is fun, yes, but a post-graduate degree is not really for exploring your options.

Presumably a Masters (but not PhD) might be suitable as a "booster" for an ailing career, on top of being a career-changer. But I also see OP doesn't seem to doing terrible on their own. I only suggest it as a way to pull yourself out of a dump and have nowhere else to turn for help.

I have very little impact on the courses in my country.
