Default Re: Engineering or Business

I think an engineering degree allows you to leave your options very open. If you want to do business later, you can always get an MBA with an engineering background. I know plenty of people who get jobs at ibanks with just engineering degrees...in fact a lot of trading positions look specifically for engineers because they know they're generally smart and good with numbers. On the other hand, it would be very hard to study finance/accounting and then later do something more mathy like engineering. Since it seems like you're not quite sure what you want to do, I would go for engineering. The program will be significantly harder though, but very rewarding if you get through.

computer science has more to do with software and computer engineering has more to do with hardware.
