Engineering or Business

[Jerome Graham]

I am having a lot of trouble trying to figure out what I should major in. At the moment I am in the electrical engineering program and am stuck with it until spring semester. However, I am not so sure I want to continue down that path. Luckily my entire first semester transfers for any of the other degrees i am interested in pursuing.

Basically I am trying to decide between electrical engineering, petroleum engineering, computer engineering/computer science, or a dual major in Accounting and Finance. My school has a program that fast tracks you into getting a BBA in Acc. and a Masters in Finance, which looked like something I would be interested in. Also, my roommate is a Acc. major, which would give me someone who I can easily study with. However, with all of the engineering programs I already have summer internships.

I originally decided on engineering because I've always been strong in math and sciences and my dad is an electrical engineer. I just don't know if I am that interested in the field. I say that but honestly I am not all that aware of what I would be doing out of college in any of these fields. Any advice is much appreciated.

I can tell you for sure that both engineering and accounting are terrible fields to work in.

something that sounds fun

If you're really smart, computer engineering. If you're not really smart, accounting and finance.

Sincerely,
A guy that majored in finance and wishes he had gone into computer engineering

Well for my first semester I am basically finished up a lot of the school requirements.

Should I try seeing if I could dual major in Finance and something like mechanical Engineering? Would that even be possible? I have classes like Calc II and 2 Physics 200 somethings done, So i have a lot of the base requirements done.

Business FTW (tl;dr)

jman..I did my undergrad at Illinois also. Something you might wanna look into is their technology and management program. Link
And I really don't see a need to dual major in finance. I would just do the engineering if you are capable.
