Change Career: Second Undergrad Degree or Grad School

I’m not at this point in my life at all, but being someone that is going into a career that satisfies them enough now (but nothing really seemed that great, so just made a decision), I think that in the future I might want to do something else.

However, how would one go about doing that? And what if I was going from business to engineering?

I’d assume you could go engineering to business by just getting a masters or MBA, but what about if someone wanted to go back and do engineering? Would they need an undergrad education in that or can one get into a graduate level engineering program without the undergrad degree? Or is there something that can be done for a more direct degree path (i.e. not taking worthless gen. ed. classes and what not).

Not sure what’ll happen in the future, but just wanted to know how graduate school worked and what people really did to possible change their career paths later in life, whether a couple years out of undergrad, 10 years, or more.

Let me know. Thanks.
