Well, it depends which of those things you want to do. If you want to do an MBA then a) why, and b) probably get a degree. If you want to work in a big corporate, then probably get a degree; less so for a startup, but I know that even in the London startup community, the opening criterion is "smart and went to a good school". Smart is more important than "good school", but the latter is often (but not always) a good proxy. If you're able to build an exceptional portfolio, then degree won't matter, but I do mean exceptional. But then the best coder I know is self taught, 22, never touched a degree and gets paid £600+ a day. If you want to do your own business stuff, then jdi. A degree won't help you much. (It'll help, but not as much as 3x years direct experience of business stuff yourself.) Disclaimer: I have a BA, MSc and am finishing a phd (all non technical) - I'm all about the education. And yet I wish I'd gone and done more stuff, instead of studying. Go figure. |
