So, I'm in the homestretch of a M.S. in Technology Management (1 course left).
Now, when I originally signed up for this degree, there was a dual degree option whereby after completion of the M.S. in Technology Management, I could continue on by taking three additional 6 credit courses to receive an MBA.
My question really is, what would you do in my shoes? I think the smarter thing is to continue on and get the dual MBA (I have until 2020 to complete it) but I am SO looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel for my M.S.
I'm currently an IT Director at a school district and have been for the last 7 years. My B.A. is in History but almost all my work experience has been in IT.
An MBA will be a great addition
Just sharing my experience. Your milage could vary.
With 20+ years in IT, I can attest that the work I did for my MBA really expanded my thinking. I found that IT is a very inward looking, internal service provider kind of mindset. The MBA broadened my thinking to business, marketting, personel and other parts of the business that I was rarely exposed to. Understanding those areas better has helped me to contribute to the 'bigger picture' and to help my colleagues be successful.
That said, MT also helped tremendously. :-)
Hope that helps,
