Will these skills help me on the job market?

Tl;dr: Should I stay in a masters program (political science) to learn certain stats skills, or would those not transfer over well into the business world? To quit the masters and find a job, or stick it out?I graduated about 18 months ago with a BA in international relations, German, and Russian. I worked at an Apple Store for about a year, then decided I wanted to go back to school.I started a PhD program in political science. Now that I'm in it, I really am A. sick of political science, and B. sick of being in school.So currently I'm thinking about graduating in 18 months with a MA and just getting a job after that. Or simply dropping out and getting a job.My struggle is this: While the political science stuff may not be so useful in getting a job, I think I may be learning some skills that may be. Skills that make me think I should stick around for the master's include econometric analysis (multiple regression), time series analysis/forecasting, generalized linear modeling/maximum likelihood estimation, some basic machine learning, proficiency in R and Python, Bayesian statistical methods, etc.Would these skills look favorable to companies when I put myself on the job market?I know a lot of it probably depends on what kind of job I'd be applying for (which I have currently no idea what I'd be applying for...), but I just don't know if it's worth sticking around for the MA just for these skills, or if it's not worth it. via /r/business http://ift.tt/2pV1aD9
