Yes, is industrial engineering technology BS a worthwhile degree to have? What does the job market, and earning potential look like for someone with this degree? Also, upon completion of the BS can you go on to pursue a MS in regular industrial engineering, or would it be preferred to obtain a MBA?

I would couple it with the MBA. Almost all of my friends that got IE undergraduate degrees went into consulting to start and then transitioned into management. The IE degree shows technical competence. When you put it together with an MBA companies will be interested in putting you into management opportunities with a technical competency.

Salaries will probably start ion the 50K to 70K (US dollars). I made my first six figure salary when I was 5 years out of college.

Best of luck,
