Best Degree to Pair w/ a B.Sc. in Computer Science?
Slashdot is running a discussion on the Best Degree to Pair w/ a B.Sc. in Computer Science. The answers are interesting and range from a MBA to Mathematics. These two seem to be the most frequent answers. I was not surprised to the MBA there, but Mathematics was a bit more suprising. Here are two quotes from the posts:
If you want to be a tech for the long haul, perhaps a degree in mathematics.
Most pairable degree with Computer Science: Mathematics. Affinity for math tells employers you’re capable of high level, abstract thought.
This being said, I have a lot of respect for management people, but if everyone becomes a manager, who will be left to manage? The dumb people? Also, with increasingly flat hierarchies, the need for managers should not be so great. Of course, a MBA teaches you more than just management skills (I hope).
