Best Degree to Pair w/ a B.Sc. in Computer Science?

Posted by Cliff on from the two-great-tastes dept.

VeryCleverHandle asks: "I have held a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science for about two years now, and I want to further my education, and increase my marketability. I am wondering what kind of degree makes a good pair for my existing one. At first, I thought of a Master's, but in my searches for a job, I've rarely (read: never) seen a Masters degree required. I am also researching what kind of degrees others, who have obtained their Bachelor's, received to help complement their education. So I ask you, Slashdot: Which degree(s) do YOU think will go well with a Computer Science Bachelors?"

      The choreography consists of taking the original requirements, ripping them to shreds, and running around screaming as you throw them into the air like confetti.

    This wasn't another one of those posts where you had to read some long article and make comments. This is one of those "Do you like ice cream?" questions.

    Go for the business degree, kid. Whatever you do in this world, there will always be a business manager over you (or working for you)

    And yes, I do like ice cream.

    You've learned how. Now learn why managers are such a bunch of idiotic fools!

    Except now you are an accountant. Gah i'd rather jab pointy objects into my eyes than have to be an accountant. Or even worse - program accounting software.

    I'm glad you're studying medicine because my head just fucking blew up reading your gargantuan paragraph.

    Is there more than one thought in all of that? I just couldn't get through it.

    Get a plumbing degree. You're gonna be putting up with people's shit either way; you may as well get paid decently for it for a change.
