Look at average earnings of an MBA 10 years out vs average earnings of a CS grad 10 years out and tell me which one is more useful for maximizing one's career options.
Now if you compare a Harvard or Wharton MBA to say a Stanford or MIT CS degree, then you'll probably find that the MBA outperforms by miles. But I think that's because those programs sell a deep network of rich and powerful people. Harvard MBA go off to run large companies, and Stanford PHDs go run research projects. I'm generalizing, but at the top end they're using very different optimization functions.
I met someone with a CS degree from Stanford who couldn't do a basic HTTP request in their main programming language (with access to Google / documentation), nor implement and reverse a linked list. These seem like really basic things that anyone with a CS degree should be able to do...
I think you should rephrase your statement to "even a shitty CS degree will convince companies that you are employable".
It’s like saying you don’t know what 13 times 14 is off the top of your head so you aren’t good at maths.
I guess my thesis is that if you can't go top 10, don't get an MBA unless you company pays for it.
