<p>after getting a B.S degree in one of the Engineering fields what Master's programs in fields other than Engineering itself, would be the best options besides an MBA?</p>
<p>any specific program or School?</p>
<p>That depends entirely on your goals.</p>
<p>I didn’t want to know which master would be better for MISELF, I was just asking, out of cusiosity, for more of a general view that could apply to any Engineer based on the Economical situation, pay, job demand and skills requirement in the work place.</p>
<p>I was looking for more of a generalized answer</p>
<p>There is no more general view. You can get a Masters in a ton of different things that will nicely complement an engineering degree. It just all depends on what you want to do when all is said and done. An MBA is incredibly useful… if you want to do business. An MS in some sort of Engineering is incredibly useful… if you want go down a more technical path. There is no correct answer. There is only the best solution for the given desired career path.</p>
<p>Is it a realistic/good idea to do B.S in science -> M.E in Engineering -> MBA?
ME or MS (nonthesis) because I dont want to do research.</p>
<p>you a missing the point here</p>
<p>

<p>AN NOT REALLY ASKING FOR A MASTER TO COMPLEMENT an engineering degree, I’m simply asking which/what type of Master’s grads are generally pay the most.</p>
<p>yeah You can get a Masters in a ton of different things, but that WON’T NECESSARILY TRANSLATE into a BETTER/HIGHER PAY.</p>
<p>I hate to say it but there is no answer to this question either. Every situation is so different, it is too hard to say. There are people with advanced engineering degrees that make a lot, there are people with MBAs that make a lot, there are people with graduate degrees in other areas that make a lot. You have to decide what will make you happy. Degrees will help you get a foot in the door and might help to advance your career but as I’ve said a thousand times, to advance career wise, you have to be good at what you do regardless of the degrees you hold. Experience also plays into career advancement. There are many thing other than graduate degrees that will determine your success.</p>

<p>No, you are missing the point. These things are so dependent on the situation that there is no general answer to your question.</p>
<p>You can look at the average starting salaries that different schools post for their different majors. In general, I would imagine schools want to brag about their starting salaries if they’re good. So if you don’t see them, they’re probably not good.</p>
<p>If you look at MBA starting salaries, they are a lot higher than M.Eng (whatever you call the degree) starting salaries, however, a lot of that probably has to do with the fact that the guy getting the MBA already has 5 or 6 years of work experience, where as often times, the guy getting the M.Eng has none. </p>
<p>Financial Engineering/Quant Finance (I guess these aren’t always in Engineering schools) might pay better. Other than that, nothing I can think of. What sorts of degrees were you thinking might pay more?</p>
