Academia is a long lost cause for producing really only two things - academics or good worker bees. Only life can produce educated thoughtful and well-informed people. As one of the comments mentioned Ai and data science, that's what industry wants not what you want. If you're going to waste money on a degree, waste a lot of money and take the classes that you want, then force yourself to do the minimum requirements for the degree but only because it's handy to help you get a job not because it has anything to do with education.
