MBA right after undergrad?

There seems to be a very strong consensus that work experience before the MBA is essential.

My son is getting his undergrad degree in Engineering. He is giving strong consideration to getting an MBA right after undergrad. His wants to go in to consulting or finance (perhaps a hedge fund) to begin his career. He majored in Engineering because he is very good with math and enjoys solving problems. However, he is not excited about working as an Engineer for a couple of years before grad school.

In this case, would going directly into an MBA program make more sense?
