Why do people major in engineering if.......

<p>

</p>

<p>Good point. Engineers can and frequently do get MBAs (about a 1/3 of the class of top schools have eng backgrounds), but bus majors can’t readily acquire engineering skills and knowledge. </p>

<p>As a b-school professor, I think, with the exception of a few specializations, an undergrad in business is a really dumb idea. I do not know any business school professors (and I personally know many 100) that would encourage their kids to get a bachelors in a business school.</p>
