<p>Exactly. A lot of engineers seem to think their diploma is a ticket to career success. That they are somehow more qualified for a business/management position because of it. They get shot down in engineering companies. They now need an advance degree. Maybe a top MBA, but most of the engineers there are former analysts at IB’s and consulting firms. They can’t get in. They then go on a crusade slagging of any technical career path.</p>
<p>What you are saying is also another reason there are so many engineer CEO’s. There are so many because there are so many technical companies. An engineer would obviously have a better chance.</p>
