How helpful would it be for me to earn another bachelor's degree?

Question

As of now I'm a Computer Science major with a Math minor and I'm also about to enter Grad school to get a Master's of Software Engineering degree. If I were to take about 4 more math classes, I could earn a Math degree. How will this help? Will I earn more money? Will I have better job opportunities? Thanks for your help

Answer 1

For only four courses, it certainly can't hurt to have a double Bachelor's degree--sets you apart from all the other Comp Sci graduates. However, it really depends on what you want to do after you graduate.You might want to consider a double Master's instead, if the upper-level coursework applies: Master's of Software Engineering and MBA is a good combo for the job market..

Answer 2

You can probably take those courses while you are working on your masters as electives.  Talk with your graduate advisers and do what they suggest.

I can appreciate your dilemma as I have a BS in chemistry and almost a second degree in computer science in the engineering department.  I never bothered to finish the second degree.  And now that I'm retired I start graduate school in the philosophy department of UCF this fall.  My way of rewarding myself for 36 years as a programmer.  Work is fun.
