I have been working for 5+ years in the Mechanical Engineering related field, with a BS and MS, and also I just passed the PE this year.
Now I am thinking about doing a part-time MBA, as my company is willing to pay for it. Going part-time might take me 4-6 years, by taking 3-4 classes every year. This is more for my personal development, and it might eventually lead me to a career path where I will have to manage projects and people. Currently I am more concentrated in the technical aspects of my job (not much business experience at all). I will be taking the GMAT this year. And then looking to apply to a "non-ivy" league school.
So I am looking for advice:
1. Would you recommend going for an MBA. or why would you not?
2. Was it worth-while? Was it difficult, switching from an engineering mindset to a business environment/interaction?
3. Have you gone through a part-time or maybe a full-time MBA. Was it beneficial to your career future.
4. Any other advice or recommendation.
