I think one can dig up a pretty good authority who reckons that anyone
who takes an MBA without 5-10 years business experience is a first
class menace.
On the other side, pure computer science is .. well rather divorced
from the real world.
Personally I would suggest that you continue to major in CS, but take
as many /useful/ business related modules as possible. Also do a bit
of private study on areas like Commercial Law and Accountancy.
The idea being that you get employed by a software house, but have
sufficient understanding of client's problems to be immediately useful
as a programmer/analyst and later useful (or devious) in getting into
a management position in the company.
Alternatively, trash the CS entirely and go for something that will
smooth your path to becoming a corporate accountant. Companies have to
employ such people, and they can get to the top at an astonishingly
early age. It is a small step from FD to CEO and from there to an MBO.
Sadly, I believe, most academic qualifications are only really useful
for getting ones foot in the door. Once in, one needs innate talent. |
