Sure you can; I blundered my way through an engineering degree.

IMO an MBA is overrated too. It's designed IMO for those who are unsure of what they'd accomplished up to that point. MBA isn't useless, but it's not as creme a la creme candidate as it once was. Especially since over qualification is a thing.
In my opinion an MBA is something your employer pays you to get if they're grooming you for a senior leadership position. I've had a handful of CVs cross my desk in the last couple years where the candidate got an MBA right after their bachelor's degree and it screams "I couldn't get a job when I graduated so mummy and daddy paid for me to stay in school for another couple years in the hopes the job market would be better." Between a candidate with an MBA and a candidate with a couple years of work experience I'll favour the latter every single time.
