Is MBA w/ Engineering the way to go?

I know some people who have gone that route, and yes, many of them have attained higher rank and income than those who have stayed on the technical path. I think it is a bit simplistic, however - many of those in high-level management positions lack the MBA, and many with the MBA nevertheless struggle in mundane jobs no better than and often worse than technical professionals. I would lump this into the broad category of “things to consider a few years after graduation” and address it then. I would definitely NOT advise an immediate MBA without job experience, unless you are trying to jump entirely out of engineering and into the financial world.
