Is there a benefit in a second MSc?

    I had asked for advice but decided against it myself, but I said I'd come back for some educated opinions before I completely rule this out.

    I already have an MSc in Marketing, but I still feel like there is a lot of skills / knowledge I could learn from doing another masters. I have a good job in a great company in their marketing department.

    Is there any point in doing another masters considering the financial and personal investment required?

    I'm currently looking at 2 in Smurfit

    MSc in ibusiness: http://www.smurfitschool.ie/mastersprogrammes/innovationthroughict/mscinibusiness-innovationthroughict/

    and the MSc in Business Analytics http://www.smurfitschool.ie/mastersprogrammes/technology/mscinbusinessanalytics/

    I know both are rather different, but both interest me, and my undergrad is in Mathematics so I hope would qualify me for the Bus Analytics course.

    Would this be a crazy thing to do? Should I try source some more short courses that are more specific and directly relevant to my job?

    I intend to do the MBA some day - but I think a good few years more experience, oh yeah, and €30k.

    Thoughts appreciated.
