Correlation != causation, hmm? Even when we're talking about anecdotal evidence. Come on, as an engineer or programmer you should be more logical than that.
Maybe the engineers you describe tend to roll with the kicks and take pretty much anything that's given to them as long as they're more or less left alone to work on something interesting, while the frat-boy MBAs are more the type to drift through life on other people's backs and make enough noise to get what they want? Maybe there are engineers who had a blast in college (I know I did), and there are business types who spend all their time studying?
It's easy to just blame it on the degree, but it's never ACTUALLY that simple, is it?
