<p>Actually, what is more accurate is that most engineers will elect to go right to work after graduation. Let’s keep in mind that the majority of engineers do not want to get into, or do not have the grades necessary to get into engineering grad-school. </p>
<p>I would also point out that engineering students probably have an above-average chance at eventually getting into an MBA program. Engineering tends to be overrepresented within the student bodies of the top MBA programs. The reason is simple - engineering jobs are highly suited for providing the work experience that is so important to getting into an MBA program. It’s a lot easier to get the kind of job that will help you get into an MBA program as an engineering student than as, say, a art history student. </p>
<p>Nevertheless, I suspect that, overall, engineers are handicapped when it comes to getting into professional schools overall.</p>
