    I wanna ask you a question, your opinion, I study my Master degree in
    multimedia production, in the past i used to work as video editor, this
    master degree gives you (in theory, of course) the oportunity of working as
    more jobs like : producer, web designer, video editor and others. Would I
    look like I’m overqualified for a job that this master degree is supossed
    to work? Would the employers look at me like “He knows too much” ? What
    would you think? I’m in this dilema.
