Most of my fellow students were liberal arts grads who needed marketable skills to find a job.
Looking back on it, it was an really good decision that has paid off handsomely in my engineering career.
Going to business school for a 6-figure salary is a fool's errand. Makes for a great movie, but reality bites!

Agree 100%. I was an engineering undergrad. I got my MBA immediately after my Bachelors. I think the breadth of education helped me in my military career and ultimately led me to the technology industry which has worked out very well for me.
The large number of engineering focused universities who have added MBAs has dramatically diluted the pool of MBA graduates, but the reality is most companies no longer offer management development programs, so if you want to pursue management, you have to get your management training outside the company.
My Mom got her MBA at Stanford and her classmate was Condi Rice. She did not “really” need to but she was old school, and it was something for her to do as an achievement..like it was part of a personal bucket list.
I already have plans to attend B school ALSO at Stanford but I am still on the fence about it.
