Not to insult anyone in particular, but in my 35 yrs or so in engineering and design, including the management and hiring and firing of real practicing engineers, most "engineers" who went on to MBA were not very good engineers in the first place else they would have gone on to get a MSc in engineering and pursued a career in engineering - not aspired to "management". I have seen too much of this in the real world to change my opinion now. YMMV
