 I am a year out of school, having just graduated with a Masters in Engineering. I am thinking about getting my chartership first (another 3 years) then hitting up my MBA.

I am in the UK, so do you know of any good schools over here for MBA, rather than just London Business School?

As said already, Oxbridge is awesome.

However, Judge (Cam) requires (REQUIRES) 3 years of work experience before they give a poo poo about you

And Oxford suggests (practically requires) the same.

So keep that in mind.

Yea, thats what I am thinking anyway. Looking to have about 4ish years, to allow me to get my Chartered Engineer.

What can you tell me about how an MBA relates to the typical engineer's mindset?

I feel like my biggest weakness in business and the workplace is that I'm too engineery with how I think. I'm very pragmatic and technical, but I feel that's a strength. And yet I'm recognizing that life isn't a meritocracy, so I'm missing some part of the equation. Will the exposure given by an MBA be the magic bullet I'm looking for?

I want to do a MBA just so it can get me out of being an Engineer, dont really want to be 40 and chugging away as a Senior Engineer - want to get me some projects on the go!
