Gets an A submitting a paper that reads: "Tried to outsource my colouring assignment but no one wants to work these days!"

I think you are wrong. Such a sentence will grant you a "you pass the class, see you next semester".

Business students have it insanely easy because they take such easy courses.

I’m in engineering 10 years in and feel like my friend makes more money in finance.

I’m senior engineer he’s a “VP” in a bank. I think these are similar levels

Yeah, but he's a leech in the bowels of the economy and (presumably) you're generating value.

The guy mopping the floors is a VP at a bank. Title inflation is out of control at those places.

Only 2 good MBAs I've met in my entire career (I'm old) were mechanical engineers.

Both decided to do it for promotional reasons. Both said it was an incredible waste of time and money content wise. But obviously helped career wise as they both ended up being department VP.

I've strongly considered it. But now programs are 50k minimum and I just can't bring myself to waste that kind of money. I might if any company I'm working for decides to help cover it.

I thought that was the marines.

It can be both. After all, both paths require roughly the same amount of independent thought.

There are some good ones out there. The smart ones know when to get out of the way and let the engineers work. Also sometimes engineers get MBAs as well... 😉
