Why Science Majors Change Their Minds

Could you talk more about the difference with MBAs? The side I've always heard said that MBAs don't have that much of an easy time unless they're top 3 program graduates and even then they still have to work their way up corporate ladders for years.

If you're into politics, I don't think there's much stopping you from climbing the ranks of a corporate giant, MBA or not?

Honestly, I don't have a deep understanding of the post-graduate MBA world. Rumor has it that you have to spend a good deal of time actually in the office or on call. I do know, however, that MBAs form the typical growth path for larger corporations.

So (thought experiment, not backed with anecdote or data) if I can get a (say), History degree and a MBA and have a similar track as a CS degree and a MBA... I know which one provides a better ROI in terms of time invested.
