Got your feelings hurt

You need to go back to school, with all the assumptions you made. Yes, im already a CIO, the statements I made are from experience. My statement was about doing a study on the most effective CIO's, the ones with IT vs Non-IT. A CIO needs the ability to make strategic descisions that will incorportate technolgies and methodologies for at least 5 years. A CIO that has no technical knowlodge and is totally reliant upon other peoples opinions will have difficulty making strategic decisiions. You make assumptions about college degree proves that a person can learn new and different things, wrong again, like most certifications..(boot camps) it proves that the person can pass a test, not necessarily learn or apply what they have may have learned. I'm glad you got your MBA, maybe you can succeed further than you have, and with that I wish you luck.

Just for kicks get together with some CIO's at a convention, there will always be 2 groups, the ones with technical experience asking questions and gathering information and the ones that don't that just sit quietly and try to pick up whatever information they can.
