<p>hey guys,</p>
<p>I was just wondering if it is actually worth it to get a minor in business. I'm an engineer at cornell and I have almost a free extra year because of AP credits and placement tests. So i was looking for other things to do and i found about this business minor for cornell's AEM. Any inputs?</p>
<p>It's not going to help you land a job. You may learn some things that will be useful in the long run though. If you can, I'd recommend graduating early instead.</p>
<p>Its worthless, just as much of undergrad business is. You will be much better off going directly for a MBA.</p>
<p>or....just work on one more year so you can graduate with your MS. in engineering in 5 years...then you can get your MBA...or get another engineering major...or minor in CS...or stuff like that.</p>
<p>The only way this would really be worth it is if you did econ as a minor. Business just doesn't seem to cut the mustard in a case like this.</p>
<p>If it were me, and I really wanted engineering, I'd just stick with that and graduate early, to get a head start on the job market.</p>
<p>graduate early as a engineer, thats really funny, it doesn't happen.</p>
<p>i586,</p>
<p>plenty of people graduate from engineering early. not everyone takes 4 years. i came into college with 34 AP credits, 22 of which translated into degree credits. so there, I could have graduated in 3.5 years. A lot of people graduate in 3.5 years so they can finish the masters too all within 5 years.</p>
<p>i586, it isn't impossible to pull of scheduling miracles, especially if there's AP credit involved. I will graduate in 4 years, with a double major in engineering and science. And I had <em>no</em> AP credit.</p>
