Default Re: after college - options

its imperative you get your M.S. or PhD in CompSci if possible. These guys can prove to anyone that they are smart and capable of learning anything in addition to being diligent. It's a gateway to anything and will probably open up MBA options, too.

You actually should be very careful about getting a PhD in computer science, as it takes a very long time and is not as employable in many ways as an MS.

You won't "smell right" for many jobs with a PhD. You'll also meet resistance as being "too academic" and "not practical" and they'll suspect you'll cost too much to boot.
