[AccessD] OT: Accelerated Masters Programs

Randy,

As an old professor my opinion is an MBA won't hurt you, but it probably
will not help you if you want to stay on the technical side of the
business.  With 10+ years experience your resume and your good
references should get you an interview with any place worth working.
All your references will say you walk on water, won't they? <grin>

Hi y'all.  I'm looking for opinions/suggestions.  I'm looking into an
accelerated Master's degree from Cambridge College (I'm also looking
into Univ of Phoenix online program).  It's an MBA on tech steroids, so
to speak. Besides proj mgt, etc., I'll learn Oracle 9i, Java, .net, OOP,
XML, HTML, et al.  Has any one gone through this?  Better yet, any of
the mgt types here have an opinion on the impact it would have on down
the road?  I've got 10+ years in da business, mainly doing
DBA/development in Access, SQL and .ASP. Your opinions are definitely
wanted.  Thanks!
