Try asking this same question in the education department, not society and culture. Good Luck!

I took Econ 101 and 102 (when I was thinking about a business degree). Pretty much all the math was (at most) some algebra and all of it was pretty intuitive. I found it honestly to be a joke compared to any math course (or even an engineering couse). My view of a business degree actually is that it is MUCH more important what connections you gather while getting the degree, then the grades you get for the degree...

maybe civil engineering. but Tech is fairly dead unless your living in south east asia, or from india. \nand the more math you know, the easier computer science courses tend to be. \n\nYou should REALLY consider the Health care industry. they get paid a lot of money and they have a growing need, while tech is seriously declining or being outsourced to foreign countries.

You better go for electrical engineering, as the scope will remain open for you for both fields, but if you choose computer engg, you wil have one field open for you... you can be computer engg, even with electrical engg degree.... so better be in electrical engg.. good luck

In my opinion...\n\nAnd in my 15 years experience as an EE the middle/upper positions seem to lead to management positions where one has to know both the engineering skills AND project management side (budgeting, scheduling, etc.).  Post graduate courses in Systems Engineering and Manaegment provides some of those skills, getting an MBA is probably just a step along the way of natural career progression.

why not do both?  business is a facilitator.  science is a mechanism.  You know what I mean?  Get an MBA and a PhD.  With that combination, you will be very successful and your career path will reveal itself to you.  dont be afraid of the 10 years you will need to complete this tract.  It will be well worth it and you will be able to make your investment back in no time.

EngineerD,\n\nI can tell you from experience, the first two years suck.  Boring.  You are paying your dues.  Lucky for you, 2 years is full payment now (it was 5 years for me).\n\nGo to a small consulting firm.  You will take on a wide variety of projects that YOU want.  You will also get experience doing business development (which is always helpful).\n\nBest of luck!

it might depend on which school you go to...diff schools diff requirements?  the business school here, only requires up to college calculus...theres 2 types of calculus...engineering calculus and calculus...take the regular one, much easier

my condolances on your engineering. i was an engineer years ago and it was boring most of the time. paid well, but boring. an mba will open up more lucrative and interesting doors, but you got to want to do mba'ish stuff.

Your most likely career opportunities would revolve around IT project management, implementations, or consulting.  Good career choice, in my mind.

i believe business is better, business is a big realm and it always gives you the chance to go higher in the hierarchical system. accounting will most probably keep you as an accountant, senior accountant, or chief accounant.

That's a good question.  I am an applied information technology student and have friends who are studying Management information systems.  I think that Information systems refers to the solutions already put in place to make work easier and improve efficiency.  For instance an MIS major isn't expected to re-invent the wheel when they join an IT department.  On the other hand information technology teaches you about computing from a practical and vantage point of view.  You see the problems and suggest solutions.  Solutions that you will implement and someone with a background in information systems will take over and work on daily.  For instance, a bus company like greyhound writes tickets by hand.  the information technology guy says no we should use a database, he designs and implements it and then an information system worker comes in to maintain and do the daily activities the database needs to function.\n\nI hope this answers your question.

You will need to look inward to guide yourself but here is something to consider.\n\nI am a mechanical engineer with a BS degree.  I was promoted to Project Management.  Technically, I should have an MBA for this job but my experience has helped me get to this level.  My peers who are not in management has upkept and increased their technical knowledge and also does quite well with their career and compensation ($$$).  They are also at lower stress level as well as they are responsible for smaller aspect of a large program.\n\nI find myself making more money but under more stress as I am responsible for whole programs, for direct report's performance so, i think I am not as happy as i could be if I would have stayed the technical course.\n\nI am basically a technical hands on guy.  and have missed that type of excitment.  Well, currently, I am making better money and to satisfy my hands on needs, I now build electrically assisted bikes/trikes and other neat projects on my own time for enjoyment and also to teach my 7 years old son on how things work in the real world.\n\n\nSo, do you see yourself wanting to be that irreplacable technical guru or do you see your self as a manager of technical people, resources with a technical background?\n\nI don't see one as being better than the other.  The main thing is to be happy so choose wisely.\n\nI hope that helped you.

With a technical backgroud a specialization in systems will be a better choice for u. many MNcs are in need of people with systems specislization and if u r going to take dual specialization then HR and Systems would be a better option. these two are the booming feilds in MBA.
