I think you might be comparing apples and oranges here by asking which is
better - a specific designation or a degree.

I believe we'd need to know more about what you want to be better before we
can answer.  Does better mean:

- Having a better chance at getting a job in those areas?
- Having a better chance at getting contracts in those areas?
- Performing a job in those area better?
- Getting better pay in performing those activities?
- Getting a higher rate on a contract to perform those activities?
- Getting a better client on a contract?
- Getting a better sounding title in a job performing those activities?
- Getting better respect in performing those activities?
- Having a better chance at being employed in the long run?
- and so on.

I might have a different recommendation based on which of the above items
were goals of yours.

Tell us more - I think is an interesting topic.
