<p>if you have both the desire and passion in both areas, which one would be better?</p>
<p>try both out, take classes in both, see what you like better. engineering is well known for its job stability, its earnings, and its practical skillset you develop, but it is also known as a difficult major that you will have to spend a significant amount of time on in undergrad.</p>
<p>You can apply to Penn Wharton M&T program which combines engineering and business. It’s a hard program to get accepted. </p>
<p>An engineer can quite easily do business (or learn to do business), but a business graduate cannot do engineering. One of the benefits of an engineering degree is its versatility.</p>
<p>Try industrial engineering! I was at that crossroad as well because I didn’t think I could keep up wth others in engineering. IE is the closest engineering to business because you often take things that other engineers have done or other system processes and you make them better, and since these individuals are usually employed in the manufacturing industry (and healthcare as well) they usually go on to becoming engineering managers with more years of experience ($120,000!). Just do some research! I also agree with taking classes in both fields to see which motivates you the most :)</p>
<p>Healthcare is the new big push for IE but they’re literally employed in any industry, it’s not just manufacturing or healthcare. IE is one major with no specific industry you have to go into, which is one of its strengths. </p>
<p>What does being “interested in business” mean to you? </p>
<p>The term passion is an overused word. Much simpler statement would be I like to make money whether in business or engineering, how do I combine both to make money.</p>
<p>This is a tricky thing. Passion/desire/interest often can’t be judged until after a few college-level courses. </p>
<p>Today there are various college-coaching services available. I wish there were more resources available to help pick a major It’s not critical to know that before college if you attend a university that offers a variety of majors. . But if you are considering STEM schools, it is good to have know there is high likelihood of good fit. </p>
