No...hurry up and go make some cash.  The longer you are in school...the more money u are going to lose.  They can hire some Indian or Chinese Engineer for cheaps..just get ur job fast.

It took me 5 years.  I never officially declared a major until I decided on Finance.  But I thought about engineering before I picked Finance.  Looking back, it wasnt a great decision -- I'm not interested in money, I care more about public policy, so I'm going back for a master's in what I'm really interested in.

My opinion is that mechanical engineers have more opportunity.  Industrail engineers work mainly in factories, distribution centers and the like designing production lines, doing time studies , logistics planning, forcasting production, etc. Mechanical engineering is much more varied. Just about any company doing design work probably needs an ME but mostly only manufacturing and distribution companies need an industrial/production engineer. Given the range of topics that an ME needs to study in school, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, statics, strength of materials....he or she could be working on nanomachines, steel structures, aerospace, medical devices, engines, pneumatics,  thermal design...the list goes on and on.  MEs make more money striaght out of school.  Manufacturing is also on the decline in the US.

Hey Chill!!Though it appears confusing , it really is not. MBA is best for people who have atleast 4-5 years work experience minimum. Just so that you know your work and field before getting into managerial positions and also to be respected by your subordinates. Doing engineering or not depends on your interests,likes and strengths. Engineering in IIT depends on your IIT-JEE score :D ... 1st step, to clear the entrance exam. If you get a seat then you can think about it. If you are still confused, may be you should meet a career counsellor and take psychometric tests to determine your field of interest and your strengths. You could also research on what profession you would like to be in and work backwards. Mail me if you have more questions.

It depends upon your personality and ur traits....if u r more business minded go in 4 MBA and if u r scholastic go in 4 MTECH.\nHaving said that, MBA's have a definite edge over MTECH where salary are concerned.

Time to go into management.  Leave the technical stream behind and go for MBA.  You will climb the ladder better that way.

Mechanical engineering will be huge relative to energy efficiency.  There are already too many MBAs in the world and the rest of the world will supply cheap software support for the next several generations.

MBA is a better option if u r interested in managament and wanna join managerial posts .These days MBA after BE is gaining importance because now a days companies demand techinical skill for manager apart from MANAGERIAL skills.\nBUT then ME is not a bad option if u r interested in the CORE of the SUBJECT of your bachelors.but after ME u need to join the jobs regarding ur CORE or u need to OPT for research.\nso now its upto you and ur INTEREST.BUT my suggestion is to do any thing in the top institutes.(IITs for ME and IIMs for MBA)

Then try for an MBA .\n \n Remember, you will have to pass GMAT test.\nWhat is GMAT? Graduate Management Aptitude Test.\nGood  Luck

I have my MBA because I thought I was going to move to NYC and work in advertising. My life changed, I never worked in the field and probably won't. I am relying on my undergrad degree as an art major now. The courses you will take when you seek an MBS fall in what I think is common sense. However, if you want to move up in the business world, that peice of paper means alot.

Three come to mind--an MBA in management; an MS in computer science; and a MS in information science.  I think it depends on what you want to do with your life.

I can safely say that my MBA did help me a great deal with my career. My boss likes me because I am able to construct very comprehensive but easy to read reports. So, I use my grad degree. My college degree was a B.A. in History and it hasn't done anything. Only 40% of college grads end up working in their field. That is partly the fault of the students, and partly the fault of the colleges. If you graduate with a business degree and you don't have well developed Excel and quantitative business skills.... then you're going to be pretty worthless in most entry level positions. And that's the fault of the colleges. But if you go to college and you don't want to be "number cruncher", then guess what... 90% of the jobs are just that. Certain degrees like education, engineering, some of the applied sciences are very specific and will give you the foundation for doing the job in those fields. But, if you get a B.A. and go into business, then... of course your college degree won't mean anything, but that's probably because you didn't know what you wanted to be until after you graduated. If I had to do it over again, I would have been a mechanic, tile installer, or a plumber. They make more money than I do, and I have an MBA.

You're only in your second year! Take some time to figure out what you want to be. If you would like to join the research, academic, and industrial track by working for a university, an engineering firm, or a large corporation where you are needed for the application of your engineering expertise, then the MS in ECE would be what you want. Starting salaries for MS grads in ECE can be really nice and plump in some markets in the US, and if you work long enough, you can expect a six-figure income. However, if you'd like to go into marketing, sales, or managerial positions within engineering instead, or open your own firm in the future, the the MBA might be the way to go.\n\nYou're only a sophomore--attend more career sessions, get internships, gain more exposure. You still have time to decide! Or even better--do your MS in ECE, then follow it with a one-year MBA program somewhere--more power to you that way!

Wow, I wish I was in your shoes because if you are willing to move (including out of the country), you will find a nice job once you have the MBA.\n\nFor lots of Money/Stress:  finance or e-business\nFor lots of contact with people: marketing/sales\n\nIt really depends on where you interests are at.\n\nMike Honeycutt

I've heard that recently that for a balanced education go for the MBA.  You can do a lot more with it, however if you are specifically interested in law, Law school would be the obvious choice.  You need to decide what you want to do when you finish school- not what type of school to go to.

US MBA's are not highly regarded outside of the US, whereas from what I can see most foreign MBAs are regarded at least equal to, if not better than US MBAs by American companies.\n\nSo definitely if you wish to work abroad, try to get a foreign MBA.
