<p>It can be useful. I have a Ross BBA and also took a few CS classes. No minor (don’t know if you could have done that back when I went). That could be a useful combination to get hired by one of the consulting companies like Accenture or Deloitte. But what happens with your career after that doesn’t have a whole lot to do with your degree. It has to do with your innate analytical skills, your communication style and writing skills, and your drive. The people who are hugely successful mostly work like dogs for their whole careers – even if they marry, have kids, etc. You may or may not decide you want to do that – what seems like your path at 21 may not feel the same at 31 or 41 years old. </p>
<p>One other thing to think about is that you may not want to work for “the man” forever. I struck off with my own consulting business in my late 30s, and it was the best thing I ever did. Getting some coursework at Ross that would help you run a startup or small business may pay off in the long run. You may work for a big company for several years to build skills and industry experience, but at some point you may want to be your own boss or “the boss”. Take advantage of Ross electives in this area if you can.</p>
