Question by stepp0nmeh: do people go straight form attaining a BS in engineering to a MBA?
do people who study engineering for the undergrad usually get a job directly? or do those who want to get an MBA get one straight out of undergrad?
this is assuming they want to get an MBA in the first place, of course (:

I would suggest that a person spend a few years developing a practical understanding of engineering. My reasoning is that you could enter an MBA program with a backup employment. With a marriage of engineering and an advanced business degree. Yes, engineering is a very high salary out of school; but, does not advance as fast as some professions. I like the double credentials idea; but, I feel that you would be well served by gaining practical experience in engineering.

You won’t get into a good MBA program coming straight out of college. Some program would likely take you, but it won’t be the type of program that is nationally respected.
Your best bet is to work as an engineer for 3-5 years, get glowing references from your employer, and then take the GMAT and apply to an MBA program.
i dont know about job … but if you haven’t taken a few required courses for business when you studied undergrad engineering(may be as an elective), most uni (good ones at least) dont take you into MBA program
MBA programs usually look for those people that have work experience.
Most get a job first, work 2-4 years then apply for the MBA. MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree. Some accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. But in those programs you don’t get the benefit of learning from other students who have work experience. A lot of valuable learning takes place through class interaction. Also when you graduate your job offers will be about the same as a business undergraduate gets because you have no work experience, and you’ve been two years out of your undergraduate field so it’s hard to get work in that area.
Explore the Official MBA Guide. It’s a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria.
