Why is it that most people expect your Bachelor's major to be different than your Master's major?  Is it uncommon for a person to pick one subject and get both degrees in that subject?
I actually expect them to be in the same field. But, I don't think that there are expectations either way, in general.\n\nBut nowadays, when people go back to school for their master's after working for awhile, they do tend to differ in fields of study, because thier interests have changed and maybe developed, or they're working in a field that is different that the undergrad major.\n\nIt's usually when you go to grad school right after undergrad that they are the same.
