My advice is to get as wide a swath of courses as you can. Now is the time - very hard to go back to school later. And you cannot predict what you will be doing in 10 or 20 years, so I'd say follow your interests now in school. There will be plenty of time to work.

My Ph.D. opened doors that would not have been otherwise available. Even in areas that have zero to do with the discipline. It is more about illustrating an ability to learn and solve problems. It isn't the only way, but it is a viable path.

Every choice along the way closes certain options. At 22 in school, I think it is best to explore everything that you can.
