As for engineers being looked down upon that's not true at all. If you're technical and have a good business sense and understand the business you'll be the first one promoted I gaurantee you. At corporations most middle level and upper level managers were once engineers with MBAs. Also, if you look at a lot of CEOs they started with a technical background.

Although this is generally true, the flip side to this is when chopping time comes around, mid level managers are usually the first to go. I've heard the phrase that larger engineering/tech companies breed managers like rats in a dumpster. A competent technical guy is dual purpose, you can always promote him to be a manager later, but it doesn't really work in reverse where you can make a manager a good engineer again.
