I have a year left for my Mechanical Engineering degree and plan on getting a Master's. I first thought I would obviously get it in Mech. Engg., but the more I think about it, it seems like an MBA would be better.
Anyone have any advice or done the same thing?
I just think that eventually being an engineering manager somewhere, it would be beneficial to have some business knowledge. Plus, I'm not really sure how more engineering classes would change my job experience/title in the future (more money hopefully). Maybe I'm completely wrong.
Do most people go for a MBA right after undergrad, or do they get a job for 3 or 4 years, and then go back for the master's? Some companies will provide financial assistance if you get a master's while working for them, but the downside is it would take forever to get the degree only taking classes at night or whatever.
Thanks for any advice or first-hand experience.
