What are the Top Paying Positions for MBA Graduates?

February 26, 2020 by Tim McMahon

For some reason, a lot of people think that MBAs are only limited to a handful of roles. But with the changing nature of the MBA, graduates are now more versatile than ever and are sought after for a variety of positions that are as diverse as the specializations the degree offers. MBAs are also in very high demand in fields such as health care and technology and are asked to fill roles that are not always directly related to finance. In this article, we’re going to look at some of the highest paying careers for MBA graduates.

Engineering Management

Engineering managers can earn over $120,000 per year on average, with some earning as much as $166,410 per year at the higher end of the spectrum. Entry-level jobs start at around $75,000.

As an engineering manager, you might be asked to:

  • Direct and coordinate production
  • Direct quality insurance, maintenance, and testing in industrial plants
  • Oversee research and development
  • Mentor, train, and hire new engineers
  • Write performance reviews
  • Analyze market demand
  • Prepare bids, contracts, and budgets
  • Lead and supervise engineers

Engineers who want to get a job as an engineering manager can either go for an engineering management master’s or an MBA geared towards engineers. One of the options for engineers who want to further their education without leaving their current position is to get their master’s degree online.

Many Universities know that Engineers are busy and can’t stop their career to go back to school so they may offer an MBA tailormade for engineers that can be completed in as little as a year online. For instance, the Kettering University program allows you to get a second degree in engineering management or operation management with as few as four courses. This is a great opportunity for any engineer wanting to move into an administrative role or go into business.

Deciding Which Engineering Degree is Right for You

June 4, 2017 by Tim McMahon

If you think you’d like to become an engineer but aren’t sure which program is right for you there are several factors that you should consider. Often High School graduates only think about how much money they can earn and forget that there is much more to a job than that. You don’t want to spend the next 30 -40 years doing something you don’t enjoy so it is important to look at what the job entails and the environment it is done in. Some engineers spend a lot of time in the field on a job site… others spend their time in an office. Some work with their hands while others work on computers or with chemicals. And finally you have to consider job availability no matter how much you enjoy designing horse saddles if there isn’t much demand for horse saddle engineers you probably won’t be able to find a job doing it.

EngineerIn the table below we have compiled information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on various fields of engineering, median annual salary, job growth and a basic description of what the position entails. [Read more…] about Deciding Which Engineering Degree is Right for You
