because half the people here don't have a good backing in econmics to carry a halfway reasonable conversation, People in CS study CS, not economics (well at least in Univ Texas). All this is about supply and demand.
if didnt recall, managers need info from accountants of how to manage people. The wages and CS ppl profitablity are determined by cost profit analysis.
Okay Ive seem to come across some people who don't know what an executive does. An executive tries to predict the future with leveraging the assets of a company. Its not about direction or what is right, its about money pure and simple. People like Dell and Gates have people executives to do the real work. So if your a programmer, you will never be an executive if your just trying to work your way up, youll just get paid more. No executive in thier right mind will let a programmer be in charge of a company's finances. But knowing the finances you will be able to make a executive descision. If you dont believe me, look at the history of cisco systems. The founders were pushed out of the company cause they had too much control. But then you say I will never go corprate just keep it private...Good luck, sucess will soon go away. To have enough capital, you need running capital, and venture capital requires incorparation. Not to pop your ballon but thats life, if you wanna be big...
What is the use of defining real numbers set in a work environment or Turing theory for in any case. Unless you have actually gone through a business degree, you dont know what your talking about.
Sure the math is simpler than 4th integral of something. But our math is more useful not filled with useless theory i.e. predicate logic. If you dont believe...any finance or accounting person can solve this problem in 3min:
jan 1, Knife company has $5000 worth of steel, $2000 of wood in work in progress enough to make 1000 units in division b. Knife company has 3 divisions, and the overhead is $10000 for total month of jan. division a has $60000 of sales division b has $120000 of sales division c has $321000 of sales
what is the current valuation (jan 1) of the transfer out of finish goods if work in progress if the transfer out was 50% steel and 30% wood(jan 15). Assume you are valuating for budgets.
MIS is a good degree... In our business school(of which i am a student), there are too many people in MIS. There has been a 15% drop across all other business degrees in the last 5 years. MIS went up 50% (all statitics are posted in our business school). In Houston, the last 3 years we are now facing a shortage of accountants. The pay of acountants and other business degrees has been rising 5% each year. Plus other business degrees usually dont have a salary ceiling MIS has one as does tech degrees. Now its not unsual for graduates to have hiring bonuses of $2000 and up for regular business degrees.
Why tech degrees are a bad idea...(for me at least)
Degrees such as CS, MIS, and engineering, will never lead to an executive postion. I mean that if you try to start a company, most likely you will fail. Sure there are certain execptions, but they got smart and hired executives to do the real work. But the reaility after 40, is if you have a tech degree, you will be uncompetitive. To business people, people with tech degrees, are just assets or in vulgar 'workers'. People with tech degrees should get use to the term workers. Now with lax high tech imgration laws, it is cheaper to hire foreign nationals.

Your right, I should have used 'most' instead of 'all.' I was just looking at this from a control of companay in finances and not of manangement....
One thing quirky about a management degree...are you a manager when you graduate...
funny how some things go...and not make much sense
drive ppl out of other degrees...
it will be cheaper for business to hire cs ppl...thats the goal...flood CS and MIS...please!!!
well in cs you really dont need any communication skills, its not like a programmer is going to talk to a client
CS majors should take (mico)enconmics...

printing costs...my friend...
printing manuals...failing classes
otherwise it would cost as much as any other
regular degree...
use cost controls!!!!1

Math rigor, I beg to disagree,
