    Hi ,

    Thank you for sending us your query.

    It is often thought by a lot of fresh students that MBA is the only way to become a manager in future or at least is the easiest way to secure a managerial role. That’s not true at all. All the fresh MBA’s usually start from scratch as any engineer do. They go into the training program and start from the bottom. It requires several years of hard work from them before they actually get a role where they get to manage a small team. It’s very unlikely that any company would let a fresh MBA graduate manage a team of 10 individuals when that person himself doesn’t have any domain expertise.

    A lot of students have started doing an MBA right after their bachelor’s degree which we don’t usually advise particularly if you love the field you are in.

    So my question to you is what do you want to do in future?

    If you are comfortable being in the field of Automotive Engineering, we strongly advise you to think over about doing an MBA right after your bachelor’s degree. MBA degree is usually beneficial after getting enough expertise in your field which one usually gets with 2-3 years of work experience.

    Almost all top business schools throughout the world prefer candidates having at least 2-3 years of work experience. This help person get enough expertise in his/her field to actually go ahead and accept more responsibilities.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Muhammad Younas

    I have a very stong background in Automotive (about 28 years of experience working for American Janapnes and Korean Manufcuturers in US Canada and Pakistan) which is slumping these days so many peope taking Automotive engineering are looking to themselves that why they took this field and trying to divert. Doing MBA was never a solution if you want to pursue what you learned in through engineering degree at start of your career. MBA helps you to grow when you have sufficient experience in your own field to managerial levels.
