<p>I'm also an engineer who aspire to get an MBA degree.</p>
<p>As sakky stated, getting an MS degree could be a waste of time, but people who normally get top jobs or top MBA programs usually have stellar undergrad-GPA (3.5+).</p>
<p>I don't have that outstanding 3.5 + gpa, nor do I have a good gpa (little over 3.1). This would be a great disadvantage for good jobs. However, with insane amount of luck, I got accepted to a school's masters program which is ranked w/in top 5. Maybe it was my junior and senior GPA (~3.6)... I don't know... and I could careless since I got in.</p>
<p>Therefore, I am planning to go pursue an MS degree for a fresh start and to hopefully get a better job and redeem my grades from my freshman and sophomore years in college. (There are SO many ways to get a free MS degree). RAs forexample.</p>
<p>Maybe for people with a slow start in college like myself, this might be a better alternative... From my experience, the majority of college students start slow (drinking, crazy insane stupid but fun things)... hopefully this will shed some light for those who are like me : ). And hopefully this will work for me too!</p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
