The subject (due to length constraints) unfortunately left out technology too.
For all the knock that MBAs get, it's worth noting that to make money and survive, businesses must do two things:
1 - Create Value
2 - Capture Value
Many of the people here excel at #1, but there are plenty of CS majors who don't create any value. Good MBAs help in capturing value. This can come from turning the business into a monopoly (a goal of Peter Thiel) or from figuring out how to incentivize a sales force. These are things generally not well understood by great programmers.
That said, MBAs also tend to be a tailing indicator. Which tells me that it's probably time to be a banker, and look for cash over equity for the next few years. :-)
