If you want to work in a specific job or sector it pays to do some research. For example, although my GF has a first class degree in economics she has not had much luck in getting a job in the financial sector. She has had to apply for a masters with much more of a focus on the pragmatic business application of economics in order to gain the practical skills employers are specifying in job vacancies. My advice would therefore be to research the software and skill sets specified by potential employers in your chosen field before fixing on any particular course.
However, no matter which postgrad course you do it will improve your employability, regardless that the sector for which you are trained may not be the sector you are employed within. I can say with confidence that even though my academic qualifications are of little direct relevance to my current employment I would not have been interviewed for the position had I not had those qualifications.
