What career paths are available for someone with a BS in Computer Science and an MS in Marketing or MBA? - David G - 10-13-2012 10:29 PM
I recently graduated from a very reputable engineering school with a Bachelors of Engineering in Computer Science. After landing my first real job, I have realized that coding is not what I want to do for the rest of my life. I have an extrovert personality and feel like my talents are best suited by being around other people instead of being trapped in a cube writing code. I have always considered getting my masters in something, however was never sure what degree would best suit my technological background. Would pursuing an MBA or getting a Masters of Marketing open up some career paths for someone with my background looking for more customer/social interaction as well as a higher paycheck in the long run? As a Software Engineer right out of college, I am making a lot more than many of my peers who studied business as an undergraduate, however I feel my talents are best suited in the business world. Any thoughts, opinions, or advice would be greatly appreciated!

in marketing you can probably work in the advertising industry, maybe become an ad exec. Perhaps for an IT company since you may know how to portray a companies strengths given you comp sci background...just a guess..but I'm sure there are lots of opportunities for you..good luck.
