Accepted to multiple CS Master's programs

I got accepted to CMU Comp Bio, JHU Biomedical Eng and Imperial College London Computing (SWE).

I think a CS Master's will give me the flexibility to apply to both cs and biotech/medtech companies after grad. However, I've had discouragement about the current CS job market and UK wages, which makes me question my decision.
