This would seem to be an argument for not getting your masters. You are basically saying that EE is such a dynamic field that what you need is more a general skillset and background than a specific set of classes (or the like). </p>
<p>A better bet than trying to get financial assistance for a M.S. or M.Eng. through a school might be simply going to work for a few years after graduating. If, after a few years, you feel your work experience (and understanding of the industry you want to come back to and manage) is enough for admission to where ever you want to go for your MBA, then you can go right for that (maybe getting the company to pay for it). Even more likely would, if you still wanted the masters in engineering and some work experience after that, be getting your M.S. or M.Eng. and having the company pay for it with your guarantee of a few years of service with them after getting it (given they pay you a competitive salary and all that).</p>
