I know that most people, once in the science sides stay there, and likewise with the humanities. Though very seldomly, sometimes, there are those who upon acquiring a masters in one may decide to combine, or switch to the other side. I am currently in such predicament. I currently have a masters in French and Francophone studies, a semester to complete my masters in Linguistics, but I want to switch to Soil and Water Science, or AgroForestry. I do not want to forgo of my linguistics ( maybe) but I really want to further my studies in the Ag dep. Any comments, concerns, opinions would help with that decision.

The Earth science fields have a lot of interdisciplinary areas of work but your two example fields seem a little too unrelated. Maybe it will come in handy if you were to do field research on specific sites in a French speaking country, but that would just be for your convenience, it would not really help advance the research. 

 

I do know some people who have switched from a science field to a humanities field. One person has a Physics MS and went to a Philosophy PhD (Philosophy of Science). Another has a science PhD and works in a history of science field.
