These days I don't recommend anyone throwin it all into coding--hybrid education of engineering and management make it more possible to always have a seat at the table.
I see “Chief Economist,” I think “inverse Kramer.”

My computer science degree (from long ago) has served me very well, even though I’ve always been a “suit.” A grounding in the fundamentals usually does. Similarly, engineers are generally good at solving problems, a skill that never goes out of favor.
I tend to think “management” is more likely valuable as being able to read a P&L and developing leadership skills. But then, the idea of higher ed could be radically different in a decade.
I wouldn’t recommend to go all in into coding even 10 years before. Its just a tiny skill that probably allocates around upto 10% of software development
