1 Good luck getting your company to pay for the MBA. Once you get entrenched in engineering they will NEVER see you as “management potential” but will instead take a punk liberal arts major (example: Art History or Home Economics major) under their wing and pay for both their salary and education. Unless possibly you play golf with the right network.

2 Once you get a job and take on personal responsibilities, you won’t be very motivated to go to night school several years later and get the MBA in 4 years that you could have had in 1 or so years if you had gone straight through. Business experience is definitely a huge help, but will count for nothing with management. The piece of paper that says MBA is all that matters to join their club.
