Non-engineering Masters with BS Engineering

<p>i'm planning on majoring in Electrical Engineering and i don't plan on changing that. however, i don't know if i want a graduate degree in the same field, for the sheer fact that i don't know if i want to limit myself intellectually and limit my possibilities (for example...i like science, but i like music just as much, probably more and spend a great deal of time self-studying music theory). also, from reading around here and elsewhere, i was wondering if i could combine engineering with something even more lucrative. </p>

<p>maybe this is a bit premature (not even in college yet haha), but what would be a good non-engineering graduate degree after pursuing a BSEE? and even at that, how feasible is it to pursue a masters outside your undergrad major?</p>

<p>Two common and lucrative paths are...</p>

<p>1) Get an MBA
2) Be a patent lawyer</p>

<p>i was thinking about MBA...but what are some possibilities of what could i do with it, along with a BSEE?</p>

<p>When you get out of college and start working, you will find out many jobs aren't only for "Mechanical engineering or " Electrical engineering". Im a mechanical engineer but I worked as a truss designer laying out roof and floor trusses. We have a math, english, civil eng majors working the same job description. My Brother in law got a B.S and masters in EE and he now works in the department of energy doing mostly paper work. Engineers are thrown in a whole bunch of different jobs. If you have a MBA you can work a variety of managerial positions. It doesn't even have to be technical.</p>

<p>I forgot to mention. My sister got a B.S in biology and her last job was in claims for the US govt.</p>
