edw519's post is based on the assumption that you are going to take on a programming job. If that is the case, you will probably burn out on programming and not really have the passion to be a great programmer.
However, there are tons of business people who have never done any programming and are still great business people. Imagine how great a business person you will be if you do know the technology.
A lot of business people go the business route and then are forced to do programming from time to time and they really write crap code and it breaks and it's horrible to maintain that stuff. Your code will be better than that.
I had this guy tell me one time, he was a business grad, he said, "Coding is easy, all people should take business courses and learn the programming on the job." But believe me, I had to fix that guy's code and integrate it into the big picture and it was total garbage. I suppose the Dunning-Kruger effect kept him from realizing how bad his code was.
Anyway, point being, I think if your passion is in the business side and you go through the ranks in school getting your CS degree, then you could be unstoppable in the tech world. If more CS grads had the business passion, they'd be better entrepreneurs.
