You must be right.... depends on the company. I don't know where you work, but there are plenty of medium to medium-large companies where an MBA and 10 years experience in the tech field is a prime resume for CIO or Director or IS, etc...... And although I'm sure there are plenty of companies where they are looking for the a "pedigree from a top tier school", I also think that if one can get into a CIO position for one of these medium to medium-large companies for a few years then you'd have a good shot at even those companies that are more selective. Just my 2 cents. Mike W.
