Masters in Engineering: Jobs to set up JD or MBA

<p>I'll be graduating this winter with a Masters in Electrical Engineering, GPA: 3.85 (undergrad in Mathematics: 3.3). My experience consists of three summer internships (one with NASA, the other two with an electrical engineering consultant firm) and 2 years of teaching various electrical engineering courses at the college I currently attend. My ultimate goal is to earn either an MBA or a JD as soon as possible after graduating this winter, but I am concerned about my financial situation. What jobs are available to someone in my position to best convey into a (very near) future MBA or JD degree (particularly ones where a company would be more likely to pay for my school)? I would try to enter B-school or L-school immediately if finances weren't a concern.</p>

<p>Thanks for any input</p>

<p>Do you want to do law or management? It sounds like you are undecided (and also like maybe you are in a hurry to get out of engineering?). Anyway, it could be beneficial for you to just work for a while and see where your interests lie. You certainly have the grades for it! :)</p>

<p>We’re considering that same decision. </p>

<p>I think the MBA provides an enhanced knowledge of business and solid analytical and reporting skills. It can get you hired quicker an into middle management quicker</p>

<p>The JD offers quicker entry into the C-level of a corporation and more opportunity to run a division or company. With a Finance oriented JD you can structure complex transactions and work closely with investment banks or work in that field.</p>

<p>If you have the time and funds, go for the JD.</p>
