Masters in engineering vs management

[Mr.Robot]

hello everyone,
I am having a dilemma on whether an engineer should continue his education in masters in the domain of engineering or he should immediately go for a master in management and entrepreneurship

You're going to get a lot of different answers on this because different people will have different perspectives. I will give you mine from experience:

You cant go wrong with the M.E because this is a very rigorous program that will challenge you, deepen your problem-solving aptitude, and enable you to hone your skills through research and application of whatever discipline of Science/Mathematics that you choose. This personally inspired me to dig deeper into my innovative methods and bridge the gap between imagination and reality in my prototypes.

I have a long way to go into the study of Entrepreneurship, but (in my honest opinion) going to College for it is a waste of time. There is plenty of good literature and mentorships that are much cheaper than a college tuition in this area. Fail early, not after you've dished out 30k on an education that you can pick up through Youtube, Books, Fastlane Forums, a couple of free SCORE mentors, and action.

As far as Management, I've always personally disagreed about going to College for it because I picked up my Leadership style through a long stint in the Marines. Some will disagree here.

Also, if you're going into debt by pursuing your Masters, dont waste your time. Use that 30k + for Marketing and Research.
