Do I need to study coding MBA in IT?

I questioned myself if I wanted to work with money for the rest of my life (because that is what an MBA essentially does, independent of the market he or she is in) or not. I decided to answer not and made my passion (computers and programming) into a profession. Along the way my MBA actually benefited me, being able to talk both languages (marketing and code). Now if you ask I am young, and should I forfeit my college education on a hunch that I might like coding better - my answer would be no. If you ask Should I switch from Business and Economics to Computer Science my answer would be yes, if you like that better. I didnt need to learn coding at my point in life where I switched from a promising fast-track management career to coding - I knew how to code and administrate unix servers and all that stuff at that point. And still, not having a degree in my chosen field of passion haunted my career for a long time. I always had to beauty up and sell my CV, constantly considering going back to school to get the papers. I managed to pull through, but as I said, I had a strong semi-professional background at that point already, and in retrospect it might have been easier (career wise) to go back to college for 4 years to get at least a Bachelor in computer science.
