<p>Anyone else has this question in mind? I can see an engineering or other major getting a Warton or Stern MBA later as a career plan. But if I get into Stern now as an undergraduate and study in finance, wouldn't that make my plan of getting an MBA (and probably in finance as well) less meaningful?</p>
<p>Not at all! The argument can be made that an MBA is more important than your undergraduate education in business. This is mainly because it opens so many more doors in terms of management level jobs even in the financial sector. I.E. Fund managing, partnership within a firm or even corporate finance roles for management. Many companies don’t even hire in certain areas unless you have an MBA (most notably merger and acquisition). So to put it bluntly, there’s far far more than an undergraduate business education. Strive for an MBA at Harvard, Stanford, Chicago, etc. It in no way is less meaningful because the spectrum of work post-undergrad is far different than post-MBA. Plus there’s the MBA connections soooo that’s a bonus.</p>
