I'd like to major in CS then go to graduate school to sharpen my management skills (so I may advance within my company) - knowing that I'm using my time wisely. Which path would open the best opportunities?
-
I'm an 18 year old interested in the STEM fields; among the particular subjects I'm interested in is CS. I'm wondering what people typically go to graduate school for after completing their undergraduate degree in CS. Apparently it would not be so wise to go about obtaining an MBA or financing degree, which doesn't bother me. I do have very natural leadership skills which I should sharpen, use to my advantage because I'd like to maximize my potential to excel in whatever path I choose. Ultimately I'd love to start a business which implements all of my skills I obtain through college. What are some suggestions based on real stories, experiences, facts? Originally, the question was "I'd like to major in CS then go to graduate school for math (i.e finance, business), what opportunities would this open for me?"

Answer:
You're pretty much setting yourself up for a career in the financial industry (specially, investment banking) or in advanced algorithms.

I'm wondering why you're discounting an MBA or Finance degree.....A BS CS/Finance would definitely setup you up for a job on The Street.....If you want to start a business, you need to know how to run a business.....An MBA with a concentration in entrepreneurship is worth considering....My advice is to get the CS degree and spend a couple of years in the industry before getting the advanced degree....Having some real world work/life experience will suit you well before moving to the next step....Besides, you never know where life will take you. You may decide on something different....
