I have a Bachelor’s in Computer Information Systems and work in the field as an “IT generalist”. Based on my education and experience, I seem to have hit a glass ceiling in my career. An IT degree doesn’t seem to be enough anymore and I’m looking to further my education. I really don’t care to go the certification route because they have to be renewed every 5 years while a degree is for life.
Here are some options I’m considering:
1) MBA and MS in MIS
2) BS in accounting and MBA
3) BA in psychology and MBA
At the present time I’m leaning toward a BA in psychology (with a possible MBA down the line). I find the subject matter interesting and most of the electives are out of the way. I figure that it would be a nice complement to an IT degree…..how many IT workers out there also have a good understanding of people as well as technology?
I’m looking for the path with the most opportunity and security, not necessarily the potential to make the most money. Any recommendations?
