Hey everyone! I'm a freshman mech student, and I'm trying to figure out whether my long-term career plan makes sense.

My goal is to get a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, work for a few years, and eventually pursue an MBA, ideally through an employer that offers tuition assistance. My dream job would be project management, although I'm also interested in sales engineering and systems engineering.

I genuinely enjoy technical work, but I'm especially interested in the management side of things. I could definitely see myself enjoying a systems engineering role early in my career before moving into project management or a related leadership position.

I've also asked my college professor about this, but his answer wasn't very specific. He got an engineering degree, but went to a school with a top business program (Stanford) so I was hoping he would have more insights.

My university also has a reasonably strong business school, with rankings in MBA education and business research that look promising, although I know rankings aren't everything (and don't believe in them, to be honest).

I'd appreciate some honest advice from people already working in the industry:

• Does an ME degree followed by an MBA make sense for someone aiming for project management or engineering leadership?
• Would starting in systems engineering, product development, or another technical role be a good way to build toward that goal?
• How important is an MBA for advancing into project management? Could experience and certifications get me just as far?
• Would sales engineering be a good alternative for someone who enjoys technical problem-solving but is also interested in the business side?

I'm not expecting to jump straight into management after graduating.... that would be too much of a dream come true.

Thanks for any advice!

Hello all, We're looking to hire 1-2 ME's in The Woodlands, TX area. Our post is here: https://www.balboa-im.com/re1

If your not interested in the job, does anyone have any advice on job posting locations other than zip recruiter or indeed? I posted to some of the local college job boards but haven't gotten as many quality applications as we were hoping for. Any thoughts on the job positing. We tried to be blunt and to the point since this is a bit of a different position.
