Alright. I'm 16 years old, and I plan on attending Texas A&M University in one or two years for a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. From what I have heard, here is the line up.
M.S. M.Eng. M.B.A.
-Theoretical approach (w/ thesis) -Applied approach (more class-oriented) -Business approach
-More scientific knowledge -More applied mathematics knowledge -More business-related mathematics knowledge
-Better for working towards a Ph.D. -Better for working towards an E.E. or P.E. -Good for staying as-is
-Better for scientists -Better for engineers -Better for businessmen
-One to two years to complete -One to two years to complete -One to two years to complete
I eventually want to work on a Ph.D. in physics (specifically astrophysics), but I also want to have a high-paying job to support an eventual large family. I want to be both a good scientist and engineer or businessman. So, my questions are: Can a B.S. in electrical engineering alone give me enough umph for a Ph.D. in astrophysics? If so, can I make more money with a M.Eng. degree, or an M.B.A.? If not, will a M.Eng. or M.S. degree be better for an engineering field?
Well, just let me know please! Any thorough answers would be well appreciated.
