From my POV it seems like there is more value in a diverse skill set especially at the masters level. I am not very familiar with TC's masters program, but from what I know they don't put much emphasis on measurement and selection, which is a valuable asset to have when going applied, especially considering you are not really an "expert" in any particular area after a masters degree. Perhaps if you were getting your PhD and knew you were interested in teams/leadership/job attitudes, etc. the emphasis in I might not be as important, but with just a masters the more diverse your skill set the more valuable you will be to an organization. But again, this is just my opinion.

Thanks for the input!

This is what the consensus appears to be. The more balanced the program the more advantageous it would be for you in the long run whether you go into the workforce or into further education after completing the MA.
