Though he never mentioned his motivation for the MBA to me, he did
mention that the MBA degree was *far* easier than the engineering

business and engineering classes at my undergrad (and I was whining about
issues such as how the finance classes *avoided* calculus, even when it
was a natural fit for the problem under discussion).

Sounds like your father was smart enough to know he needed the MBA. An
MBA my itself is not that impressive; it needs to be married to
another degree. The engineering undergrad with MBA is a *VERY *
powerful combo and produces lots of job offers.
