<p>Hello, I'm a bachelor in computer science. I'm thinking of starting a new company and make computer software for people. </p>
<p>I think I have plenty of ideas and I think I could describe my ideas to a programmer and hire him to make that software for me.</p>
<p>So my question is, should I go for a masters computer science degree to "open more doors" for my ideas and concepts, or should I go for a MBA so I could manage my business and keep it running?</p>
<p>I would also like to know what "knowledge" an MBA would be able to benefit me as being an executive in a company.</p>
<p>And what "topics" would I come across with a Masters which I won't in Bachelors.</p>
<p>Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs. What do they have in common. They are all hugely successful without a college degree to open more doors. My advise to you is to get to work. Someone else may have similar ideas and beat you to the punch.</p>
<p>Not denying the success of those folks, but if you look at the percentages across a wider cross-section of our society you will see that on average you are better off getting at least your bachelor degree. </p>
<p>My advice for new grads is once you get the bachelor, go to work for a while before you go for a masters degree. After working a few years you will have a better idea where you are interested in focusing a couple years study for the masters. </p>
<p>As to the knowledge gained in an MBA, it first gives you a broad exposure to the many facets of the business environment (finance, accounting, marketing, etc.). Many let you focus electives in a particular area - MIS in my case. But many programs have an entrepreneur track where you will learn how to start and build a company, which might match the interests you mentioned.</p>
<p>raellis, the post suggested bachelor degree was in hand. But if not, I agree OP should finish. But my thinking was that starting the company made more sense than getting wither masters degree.</p>
<p>geo1113 - OK, I didn’t read the OP that way, thought he was still in school. Sounds like we agree - if in school, finish; if done, work first and masters later (if at all).</p>
