While having considered it, for me, unless you are planning to move to Business org, it seems an MS in something technical is more valuable, even in engineering management, or Product Management, just looking at the degrees people at my company have in those positions.

Is it the same at other places?

I didnt get my Masters in a specifically technical field. Engineering Management was 60% Industrial Engineering and 40% business.

I found 2 classes useful-

>Lean Principles- changed my life, I started using Industrial Engineering at home and sharing my findings with the internet. It has been very popular.

>Marketing class- 2 lessons, if you are going to put years into a project, do a marketing plan. Also, learned how incredibly important marketing is.

Everything else was basically useless. Had a few crazies as professors in my business classes. Engineering classes were not bad, but not helpful.

So 2/10 classes were useful? But incredibly useful.

This was exactly why I chose to do a BBA alongside my CS degree. If I was gonna make something, I wanted to make sure it would have some impact on the real world. I tell people: CS is a tool for solving problems, but business is a tool for finding them.

A growing number of people in the company I work at have no degree whatsoever
