I would say... it depends.
If the presumption is: "the answers that can be given branch out too much from a concise option" then we can call it too broad and close it like normal. However, if there is a general standard or a few options that can be given in an answer (see example) then question can produce answers that are not too opinionated or dependent on other variables.
Example
The Masters degree example:
If I continue my degree will it help or if I go obtain an internship
will that help more?
Continue Degree
- Option A: Take it - it helps because of:
- Option B: Don't do it - it doesn't help because of:
- Definitive Point 2
- Definitive Point 3
Go for Internship
- Option A: Take it - it helps because of:
- Definitive Point 1
- Definitive Point 2
- Option B: Don't do it - it doesn't help because of:
If the structure of the answer can be concise without giving opinions on the definitive points that make up the options then it is not too broad to answer. If however it was like this:
Continue Degree
- Option A: Take it - it helps because of:
- Definitive Point 1
- Dependent on Point 1.1
- Dependent on Point 1.1.1
- Dependent on Point 1.1.2
- Dependent on Point 1.2
- Option B: Don't do it - it doesn't help because of:
- Definitive Point 2
- Dependent on Point 2.1
- Dependent on Point 2.1.1
- Dependent on Point 2.1.2
- Dependent on Point 2.1.2.1
- Definitive Point 3
- Dependent on Point 3.1
- Dependent on Point 3.2
- Dependent on Point 3.3
Then there is clearly a broad answer (most likely due to the format of the question) and so the question does not fit our standards.
To sum up
If you can't answer an "it depends" question with a selection of few definitive answer points then it is too broad. If you have a small selection of concise options with no dependency on opinion or situation (beyond the scope of the question) then it is a good question-answer combination.
