It really depends on what you want to do (i.e., your personal definition of "better")
Last time I was looking for a job, the recruiter came back to me and said "I can find lots of jobs that need your skills, but none that will pay the salary you want."
So we discussed what my skills were. I was looking for a SW dev job, but I have degrees & experience in EE, SW, lots of time working with integrating SW, EE, and Mechanical motion control, more experience working with biochemistry and understanding how various physical movements can affect the way a reaction proceeds, and the repeatability, etc. of the output.
Finally she says, "hmmm, you're really a Systems engineer with a Software engineer title." Then a new set of job opportunities (that wanted to pay what I wanted to be paid) showed up.
And somehow I ended up taking a position as a software engineer/Manager... go figure.
