<p>I completely agree with hadsed. Keep in mind that engineers work in many areas of business but it does not work the other way around. Business majors can not work in engineering. I know several engineers that earned MBAs and they all agree that level of difficulty of a MBA is not even comparable to an undergraduate engineering degree. People with engineering degrees can be found at all levels all the way to the top of large companies. Even though many high level managers with an engineering background might eventually get a MBA, their job performance, intelligence, and technical skill are mainly responsible for their career advancement. This is why engineering degrees are highly regarded throughout companies. Just because an engineer has a MBA doesn’t mean they will automatically become a CEO. Engineering degrees carry more weight than business degrees for many management positions.</p>
<p>As hadsed said, if you are smart enough to succeed in engineering you are likely smart enough to manage people and handle non-technical responsibilities.</p>
