What can I do with a bachelors degree in engineering management?

4 year engineering degree vs 2 year designer degree, then have company pay for bachelors?

• Right now I'm a first year engineering student and a University. I've been deciding whether to keep on the track I'm going, which will take me 4 1/2 to 5 years because of scheduling issues, and having to take an extra class or two. I'm thinking about going to a tech school, and getting my 2 year mechanical design degree and finding a job doing that, then try and have the company pay for my school.I would try and work full time, then take 2 classes a semester at night or something. I would possibly be able to go to a better engineering school then If my company pays for it. Also since I already have college credit, I could cancel out a lot of the classes in the 2 year degree program, and I could knock more general eds and math classes that would transfer to a university, so I would only have to take my major classes. Has anyone ever done this route before? Would you recommend this or just go get the 4 year right away?

• Answer:

  2-year designer degree? As in web design? I think your first problem would be getting hired at all, after which is miles away from getting your employer to PAY for your bachelor degree. If only life was that easy. What's the ranking of your university and the employment prospect of past graduates from the engineering department? If you want to go to a 2-year it would be to transfer into a better program at a better university.
