pretty much. well, except without the 1 and the 5.

and high demand or not, i couldn't get a job for crap. all i heard was how many petroleum engineers the world needed, but no, lets not give f4p and his superb grades a job. probably because i had no experience, but then i was applying for entry-level jobs so i'm not exactly sure how i was supposed to get the experience or why it was so needed.

and i was mostly joking anyway, obviously PE will pay off handsomely for most people.

Just to help out, Miscojobs.com is a great site for petroleum engineers. Pay the fee they ask, it'll be worth it....

PE's are in such high demand they just convert ME's to PE's, on the job.

I have an MS in engineering management, but I would wager that an MBA is more powerful.

Is an MBA good for engineers (i.e., software engineers)? I mean if you're an engineer, what can u do with an MBA aside from starting your career completely over again in marketing/finance and getting paid a 50% lower salary?

Network with other people and start a company. Learn from people that have already done it. Not that you really need an MBA to do that, but not all of us are the next Bill Gates.

I have a BSEE and am getting an MBA. If you're seriously going to take a paycut by switching over to marketing/finance - you should stay at your job. That being said, i don't know ANY engineer outside of an engineering manager (where an MBA would still be useful), that makes as much as a post-MBA finance/marketing guy.
