I personally don't like OMSCS because
- High dropout rate
- It takes too long to do
- Won't help you get a job any better than other better options
You have to be careful playing the reputation and prestige game with education because, in the end, it will come down to your skills/experience and not the school's reputation when applying for jobs.
You are correct to an extent. Your ability to network plays a huge role too. Couple he prestige with your networking, and you have a recipe for potential success.

@Pats20, the HAU MBA is at $3K due to a scholarship offering, it's not a special price for life... only a limited time offering. I would couple that with the IMSM that costs a little more because it's coming from an amazing institution on par with BU or at least close to it. I mean, having two Masters for the price of 1 at other institutions... you can't ask for more. I would apply and get them both, slowly and surely, the IMSM is a one year program from a top institution. Link: https://www.coursera.org/degrees/ms-mana...-financing

Networking that's another topic to debate by itself.
Why You Shouldn’t Network In College (or ever really)

I know a lot of people who got to where they’re at by who they know. Not by what they know. There are a lot of dummies in big positions. 90% of the people who graduate from BU , U of I , Michigan , UT , Madison , ect that get great jobs aren’t any smarter than the guy / girl that went to TESU, or Cumberlands or Campbellsville. It’s who they knew. But they got to know them because of where they went to school.

The networking thing is subjective. I got zero connections from my college days.

Omscs is a great program at a great price. It’s my understanding that it’s very demanding and students drop like flies.
A great deal and a great program isn’t so great (to you) if you can’t make it thru it.

I’m going to get lambasted for this, but the best *value* MBA for me personally would be ENEB. Why? Because if I were to do an MBA program, the only real purpose would be to put the initials after my name. It would serve no career or business purpose beyond whatever ego boost it gives me to add the initials.
Value is subjective to each individual.
