Non-engineering courses for Engineers

KrisGant

A question was raised at work today around whether MBAs are worth completing, or if more focused shorter courses provide more benefit such as finance etc.

Interested to hear others thoughts/opinions. 

Thanks

  • Surely this needs to depend on the job the person is either wanting to do (or being pushed into) ? 
    A finance course is only useful to those who need to understand it, and presumably the same is true of say patent law or a foreign language. (maybe an element of  tautology with those two actually ?).
    Knowing german was very useful when I worked for Siemens and their customers for example.

    The exam question then is really "what does an MBA prepare you for, and is it a good match to what you are intending or about to do ?
    I can't answer that, I don't have one.
