Should i do MBA?

This is a concern amongst all of us.Everyone is confused by this so called `MBA`.Is it a Status Symbol ? I may be like a lot of ppl who dont know , about how to proceed further in one's career . But i know one truth.

Especially Indians want to do B.E , PH.D & if possible an MBA too all in succession after they complete school. ok - nothing wrong there. But whats the use ?

Clearly ,MBA is not reqd if you need to become a manager . Product/Process knowledge is more than sufficient. I have seen ppl with an MIT degree + Stanford MBA working under an employee who just did his B.A in computers & has 10 years of exp with the same company.

Doing MBA might be good, but one should not do it after his B.E , whats the use in studying MBA if you dnt knw what an industry is ? I am sure ISB/IIM will all have excellent faculties to teach you , but you got to relate to what they say , else it is gonna be text-bookish.

Anywhere in the world,dng a good MBA will definitely help one in fetching a lot of money - but will you be happy then ? I think guys like me like their work more than the money they are paid. isnt it ? :)

-------------
just my 2 cents...

PS:
I dont want to conclude anything with the above lines , i want it to be like a technical Interview question which cant be closed as the possibilities are endless. Keep your thoughts flowing..

To the answer is "Learn new things" am afraid that people will come back and say i can learn new thing through internet. If you one such question in your mind just let me know why had to do your Engineering? If you have an answer for this then you have answered your blog title..

Engineering is a foundation which everyone has to do after coming from a science bg and if the person has an interest for science.

I wanted to know as to how MBA is gonna change the way of looking ahead in your career (or) just more & more people just fall into the well since everyone is jumping. I am especially hinting the attitude of doing MBA amongst youth , just for the heck of it.
