Why MBA after engineering?

If you go into management, your career is less secure…Finally, it is easier to hide your actual performance (or lack thereof) in a technical position. You can do nothing all day, and as long as people see you in the plant talking to people and looking at things, you can often hide your lack of performance (just call it “firefighting”). As long as you understand the process well, you will have some value to the company. On the other hand, a business manager’s performance is much easier to evaluate quantitatively, and he will be quickly fired for lack of performance.
