I am graduating majoring mechanical..I want to get to an idea whether to do MBA or ME next ..?

Question

Or will it be preferable to go for MS by doing side by side..If not Ms then shall i get placed after completing my B.E degree and after getting a good experience of 2 to 3 yrs shall i do MBA or M.E..

Answer 1

The top MBA programs want you to have three to five years of work experience before accepting you. If you are good enough to get into a top school, I would advise waiting rather than going to a school you can get into now.

Only get the MME degree is you really want to work as a mechanical engineer. You could do both together after working for a few years -- or do one now & the other later.

Answer 2

I think it seriously depends on what you want to do with your knowledge. IF you really aren't sure, then I would look into the job market after graduation..get your feet wet and decide--a little bit of experience in the workplace (especially if you can find work in-field) can make a huge difference in general happiness down the line. Then, you will be able to decide--
"Do I want to be a manager or an engineer?"
If you want to go with the management route (possible better pay, but IMHO not as much fun as actually building/designing/creating) then I would lean toward the MBA. IF you want to stick with the actual engineering part of things (quite possibly less pay than the suits, but very possibly more fun), then go with the ME.
A bit of an anecdote--one of my closest colleagues in university was a double mager in computer and electrical engineering. WEnt hrouh, graduated with honors, and had the same decision to make as you have now. He decided to check the workforce. He landed a "good" job in field. The money was good, but he hated the work. Basically, he had some cash, but he was miserable. So, he went back to uni to get a teaching certificate. Sure enough, he was much happier (but much less financially secure) teaching. He is in the process now of making the transition to University level teaching..better money than HS for sure.

So, in summation, I will reiterate...I suggest getting a little experience, seeing how you like the work, and making your decision from there. Good luck to ya!
