<p>No one is going to argue that there aren’t engineers that fit the category you are describing. There are also business majors that fit this category. There are people in every profession that fit this category. Obviously, every engineer is not cut out to be a manager but niether is every person with a MBA. The point I’m making is that some people can handle the challenge of business and management responsibilities. If you can succeed as an engineer, it is likely that you posess the intelligence to learn management and business techniques. Just because you have a MBA it doesn’t mean you are suddenly capable of managing people. My point is that an engineering degree requires much more analytical thinking than any business degree and that in many ways the engineering degree carries more weight. Every engineer I know with a MBA will agree.</p>
