TESU BACS & BSBA CIS at the same time?

Maybe some of you don't care about learning things but it does matter.

In my less than completely humble opinion, a bachelors degree is a piece of paper.  The learning can be fairly disconnected from the paper and there are much cheaper ways to learn than spending $1200 for a capstone course.  What I will say though, is there might be some value in a BS over a BA prestige wise especially if you're just starting out.  If it is a job writing code, they'll probably want a Computer Science degree.  If you're going into the business side, management or a more generic IT role, CIS might be fine and the BS might look better.  If you have experience, there probably isn't much the BA would prevent you from getting.  Go get some additional certs as you move up, agile or CAPM and you'll be able to move wherever you want(with any luck your employer will pay). If you need to be more competitive, go get the MBA or MSCS/MSDS/wherever you want to go. The last program manager/product developer where I work had a history BA.

As always, have a plan for where you want to be.  If you need a lot of flexibility because you just don't know, and it fits the budget, the second bach isn't a terrible idea.  It just may not be necessary depending on how clear your vision is of where you're going.
