I am going to be a mechanical engineer. I also have interest in MBA field. I want to graduate with an MBA. I want to choose the career that is combination of engineering and MBA.

Hi there! Great news, there are a ton of job options that you can combine a degree in engineering and an MBA with! In fact, I was heavily considering pursuing my MBA last year. I wanted to combine the problem solving abilities I have gained with my engineering degree and my experience in medical devices with a better understanding of how businesses work with an MBA to advance my career. I had applied to and been accepted to several programs but ultimately decided that it was not the right path for me and my family at this point in my life. I just didn't have the time and energy to dedicate to an MBA for 2-3 years while working full time and raising my family (4 kids between the ages 2-11) right now.

An MBA can be an incredibly useful tool but it ultimately comes down to what you make of opportunities. Pursuing an MBA would have given me more contacts and exposed me to more businesses that I potentially could have made a career change, if I so desired. However, from my view in my career, it turns out it isn't necessary for my current company.

That said, an MBA can certainly be an asset and I won't entirely rule it out for me. I know several people who have earned their Bachelors in Engineering and gone on to get their MBAs. Many of them work in my customer facing roles - Product Manager for automotive industry, Lead Consultant for a consulting firms, Global Brand Manager for consumer goods, etc. They tend to be people who have the unique ability to understand the technical depth of engineering and details of product development while being able to translate those details to what a customer needs and wants.

I hope this provides you a little bit more information. You don't have to pick both degrees at the exact same time. And you are not limited to a specific job. There are a lot of options that work well with both! Best of luck to you!
