MBA [IT] seems rather quiet becoz of subprime but it really rules the roost in the management job markets two years from now.
Getting an MBA is anything but a move away from the real world.
It’s a combination of technical and practical skills, a sometimes brutal two-year boot camp in which you learn to deconstruct a balance sheet, negotiate a raise, and make buddies and business contacts everywhere on the planet.
No doubt the industry is highly technology-driven but the argument in favour of the MBA is that in developing software, the programming or in popular terms the "coding" part is often not more than 10-15 percent of the entire project effort.
System requirements, system design, project administration, quality control and testing…all of which have no relation to programming skills, comprise up to 80-90 percent of the project effort. Skills such as competitor analysis, strategizing product deployment, business development, precision customer prospecting requires a class of people who fit the "MBA" bill.
