I thought programming was fun. I made a couple simple programs that did funny or useful (at the time) things. Of course, that was like, 8 years ago and I wouldn't know wtf I'm doing now. I could probably still make a decent website, but with all the programs they have to help people make websites without having to know html, jav, etc, who can't make a website anymore?

so if 40k is to be expected for a bba.. what kind of figures do you guys think one can expect from the masters? and would you have to start from the bottom if your fresh outta college? like my friend just got his BA in finance and they started him as a BANK TELLER! what?! you can get the job with a hs diploma? 4 years and 30grand for nothing? so going back to my second question.. would you start at the bottom with a masters too or would they start you as a manager or someting?

An MBA from Harvard will land you in some nice paying jobs/corps. Point is where you get the degree from has a bearing on the starting pay. An MBA will provide a higher entry level but not really a jump into management...........depends on who's hiring too. Just my

I'm just an engineer not a business type.

still no figures.. 60k? 70..80?

50k

there are literally only 10 schools out there that can get you into a high management job, but on top of that, you could have a masters from Harvard but with no experience you are worthless. essentially experience counts about 75% of the time more than the diploma. So your best bet is get the BA, work for 2-3 years then get the mba, then you can start migrating into managerial positions.

there is nothing worse than a manager who never worked at the bottom. They are worthless as hell. they do not function in a company, cannot understand the team they lead, and all they can do is play with excel, do not be one of those dudes.

Company i work for all 5 of our project managers never had any design experience with their engineering degrees, hell one of them is even a civil engineer, so now, i have to suffer with ridiculous time lines, no money for prototypes, its just a mess.
