Wasn't sure where to post this, so feel free to move it.
I'm a 35 year old civil engineer and looking to progress into the management ranks of the profession.
As I've moved through my shortish career I'm starting to become attracted by the lure of management and not just in engineering either. My current employer is keen to develop me as a manager, I've just returned from a 4 day course on leadership.
I'm currently with a very large US company and I'm hoping by studying for an MBA in my spare time with aid me in future years. My ideally aim, like most I guess is to get to the top.
Will future employers look kindly on an MBA??

Open Uni offer a foundation course for the MBA which is a year long. Could this be a toe in the water ??
