Accounting/i-banking: Engineering or Not?

College Majors Business Major
1

<p>I'd like to go into one of the more mathematically involved business fields when I graduate, possibly accounting, or if I were lucky, i-banking.</p>

<p>I was wondering how much a difference for me to major in an engineering major or a non-engineering business major (AEM, economics.)
Also, what major in engineering would best prepare me for working in business or getting a MBA?</p>

<p>I've always been a science person and would like to study something related to the science. However, I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle and pain to go through engineering if I wanted to work on Wall Street eventually and not very interested in doing research. How valuable does engineering really make you for such careers?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Business would be the best for a working in business....So basically, if you want to go into Business you should do Economics or business, or maybe industrial engineering</p>

<p>It really depends on what college you're going to. Business major only if it's a top business program.</p>

<p>Banks and consulting firms hire a ton of engineers for their quantitative and problem solving ability. It's actually one of the most desirable majors for strategy consulting. It includes all engineering, not just industrial/operations. Maybe not so much civil though.</p>

<p>i see... anyone else?</p>
