The conundrum I'm in is that the degree does have a very broad application in the business world. I'm leaning heavily in favor of a technology business, because managers with heavy technical backgrounds are hard to come by. Most managers in the technology business don't have a clue about the technology.

Congrats on the degree!

At least in my field (semiconductors), the exact opposite of your comment is true. Outside of perhaps finance and HR, virtually all of the managers with whom I've dealt - and that's a large number - have had an extremely solid grasp of the technology. Some can't manage their way out of a paper bag but they sure do know the nuts and bolts, and this extends all the way to the CEO.

Just curious, but what is the basis for your statement?
