It's as simple as that. Computer science is a great degree to get (assuming you're interested in it), as it allows you real professional work experience in a major company, which is what any half-decent MBA program is going to require.

Depends on what part of the financial sector you want to apply for, after college. A computer science degree is a definite plus for these institutions, but you would need to have studied some related units. Investment banks would look for specific related units: Quantitative Methods Management Accounting Economics Capital Management/Corporate Finance. A degree in information systems and management fits the bill, but a pure computer science degree is not a pertinent subject, unless you want a job in IT. So, your plan to do an MBA is an excellent career move. Good luck. It is and it isn’t. Depends on what part of the financial sector you want to apply for, after college.
