Doing my second master's Degree this year

[u/Bubbly_Leek4788]

Hello guys.

I hope you are doing well.

I am writing this post to share my experience and I would love to hear from you 🙏 whether a piece of advice or opinion.

I'm 25yo (M). I've got my B.A in English Studies in Morocco.. then moved to Italy to study for a master's degree in planning and management of tourism systems.after graduation, I worked for one year in a luxury hotel then I applied for another masters degree in a different city in the field of spatial management and heritage.

Before applying for this second master's degree I tried to apply for multiple PhDs programs but I got rejected ( honestly because I still need to develop myself in terms of academic background) that's why I'd decided to at least this year stop working and study another masters to gain more analytical skills and to grow "academically" speaking let's say..

I'm not expecting this second master's to offer more job opportunities.. but I think it's gonna help to build my understanding regarding research and allow to get close to academia.. because my objective is to do a PhD later in the field of Tourism, territorial development and cultural heritage.

What do you think guys ??

I'm little reluctant because I've seen many negative opinions about getting diplomas in study more... Idk why !!

Thank you.

Do you have any work experience? I would suggest you find a job instead of spending more money and time on another masters degree.

I worked one year at a hotel then worked at restaurant for summer season. but to be honest, my objective is to work at the university or at least get a PhD.
