I totally agree with you snowbird, I want to get that broad spectrum too. But its just too bad that a cs/engineering degree does not carry the same prestige and job security (or at least ease of job change by not super-specializing)as an MBA.
- snowbird122 19y agoIt is interesting that you mention that MBAs have job security. I'm not so sure it is true. MBAs are often "middle management" and can be the first to be dismissed in hard times. Companies that think programmers are commodities aren't worth working for anyway.
- projectileboy 19y agoDepends on your environment. MBAs with no engineering background value other MBAs. Engineers value other engineers. Real leaders and innovators value real qualities and abilities of others, whether those abilities are business-centric or tech-centric or design-centric. Sadly, these sorts of attitudes are prevalent in many large IT shops. Personally, I run away from anyone who views any meaningful role (coder, CFO, COO, admin ass't) as just requiring a random body.
