<p>Alright, im a graduate student persuing an MBA and masters in electrical engineering. i really dont know what im looking for with this thread, maybe just your opinion about this career option. I was thinking between several careers and eliminated several of them. Originally i was going to go for law, but lawyers typically work longer hours and deal with the bottom feeders of society. Also putting money aside, who really has ever wanted to be a divorce attorney or a patent lawyer the work seems uninteresting and unoriginal. My choice was between some sort of health care career or the engineer and MBA option. I dont have the grades or dedication to become a a real doctor. I was thinking that dentistry and chiropractic work would be very flexible. What are your opinions of these three professions. Im looking for a serious discussion based on facts and not personal feelings. let me know</p>
<p>Uh, so you're currently pursuing an MBA and master's in EE, but you're considering becoming dentist or a chiropractor? What's wrong with this picture?</p>
<p>patent attorney's deal with the "botton feeders of society" ? , are u an idiot ?</p>
<p>My suggestion, maybe too late in this case, would be:</p>
<p>Before undertaking an advanced degree in any field, have some idea of why you're doing it. Otherwise you can waste chunks of your life undertaking advanced, specialized study in fields you actually in the end don't care to pursue. Plus, once the advanced degree card is played it may be hard to do it again later, should you want to go back for an actually well-conceived reason. Particularly you can't go get another MBA, to change fields or whatever, if you've already got one. Or another Master's of Engineering, in the same field anyway.</p>
<p>If no clear path is jumping out at you, go try and get a job. After you work for a while things may clear up a bit, possibly.</p>

<p>Actually, yeah you can. Not at all schools, mind you. But some schools allow you to pursue an MBA even if you already have one. For example, take Wharton:</p>
<p>"Q8: I already have an MBA. Can I apply to Wharton?
A8: Yes you can apply. We do not exclude candidates who have an MBA or any other graduate degree. You should, however, fully explain your reasons for pursuing a second MBA in your application. "</p>
