[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he is a really bright kid, UMD undergrad, and then another school for graduate level. You really need a master's in comp sci to not be a drone.[/quote] No not really - you need a whip-smart idea or get a top 7 mba. That master's in CS just makes you a get more money and better title as a Dev or Test. Master's in CS in and of itself is not going to help you think up the next fb, dropbox, whatsapp, tumblr, pintrest, google, snapchat, uber, etc. That is something a drop out to a phd can think of. The top 7 mba however will allow you to move into product dev/management, corporate development/firm strategy/m&a role that helps you rise in the ranks at a large tech firm. I would go UMD, kill it, get a job in the valley for a 2-3 years, then if you don't think of a startup idea or have the chance to join a startup that you think will blow up, apply to go to a top b school.
