The PI was great Derek was good, I am a Civil Engineer, with 4 years of work ex. I am thinking of going for a MBA programme, which is better for me marketing, finance or operations. Personally Operations is the most relatable course in CE and MBA for me, But i want to work on my Business in future sometime, but i don't want to work in Constrcution Sector even after doing mba, can u tell me will other sectors accept me apart from Construction.

[@EngineeringManagement]

Great question, I would say try to figure out the field you want to go in and select based on that, but operations is a good fit with engineering for sure!

The first half or so of your first year in an MBA program is spent taking "core" classes in a lot of those fields (marketing, finance, accounting, business strategy, operations, etc) which may also help you narrow down which field you would like to pursue after graduating. And a lot of students in MBA programs are career switchers looking to get into a different field, so you should definitely be able to transition to other sectors!
