100% agree. The second I got a degree, gatekeeping stopped.

Becoming an MBA candidate, the barriers were minimized even more, if not eliminated.

I can only imagine if it was a top ten school instead of top 30.

Combine a top 10 with a proper computer science degree. If only I knew and understood this was the “proper” path a decade ago or more.

Taking the harder path helped me become who I am today, but, it sure is easier to take the easier path.

If you are looking for a practical computer science degree, Georgia Tech’s OMSCS feels tailor made for late 20s and 30s. There’s no age restriction of course, but if you are younger, on campus networking is better.

I plan to do it sometime after my MBA.
