I want to be able to create financial models using C++ and java for trading purposes. I'll be getting my undergraduate degree in Business Economics and have enough accounting units for the CPA. I work as a Jr. Staff Accountant right now (which blows). I can get an MBA in IT with ease or take on the high switching costs of a MS in computer science.
This is what the two programs offer: (both are from state universities)
MBA IT: SQL, ERP, ORACLE, C++ or JAVA, Data modeling.
MS CS: Shit load of more math, C++ or JAVA, Software Engineering, Genetic Algorithms, Computer Hardware/Engineering topics.
I like both econ and IT/CS and would not mind doing either as a career. Like maybe a business analyst, IT consultant, or developer.
It sounds like you should go for your MBA but you will have to take math there too or you will never be prepared for the programming classes you need.
