I find it nuts that a CEO, and somebody who had to write and defend a dissertation, would attach their name this hack job of an article. The entire argument exists in a couple sentences, with no proof or citations:<p>"While talented grads with a bachelor’s degree may have the knowledge necessary to fill an entry-level position, they often lack the in-depth knowledge and design experience necessary to take on challenging assignments that would lead to rapid advancement. By definition, the course work for a bachelor’s degree comprises a wide array of general studies combined with a limited set of major-specific classes. This provides the grad with important preparation for wide-ranging career choices but limited expertise in a specific field.<p>In contrast, a master’s level graduate program in computer science offers students the opportunity to tackle advanced topics, such as distributed computing and operating systems, and to obtain the design skills required to architect and implement complex systems and applications."
