Business vs Engineering

<p>I would be applying to college in the next few months and I need to decide which career path to choose.(International Student).
I am interested in both business and engineering, hence my current dilemma.
Currently, I have a better grade in Economics(A) than in Physics(B).
The only thing the troubles me with Engineering is that, I have some phases or periods on interest in engineering related things, but after a couple of months that interest is gone. For example, couple years back I was very excited to get Lego Mindstorm NXT and build my own robot, but after a few months, i just stopped thinking about it. Similar thing happened couple months back. But then again i do like these projects/hobbies. However, i dont see myself working in a lab the whole time. </p>

<p>As for Business- I have done some extracurricular activities such as taking part in national virtual stock trading challenge(reached regional finals). Taking up a finance course. Reading Economics related books. If i did business, i would like to do something like ibanking, consulting or something along those lines but would want to avoid accounting/finance.</p>

<p>So, I'm not sure, if engineering or tech related things are supposed to remain as my hobby or should i pursue a career in it. </p>

<p>Thanks alot</p>

<p>Is your goal to live and work in the US after graduation? If so, you have have a much better chance finding a job with an engineering degree, unless the business degree comes from a very top school (like Wharton). Engineering firms are more likely to obtain H1B visas for students than business firms.</p>

<p>If your plan is to return to your home country, you might want to list the country so those from there can give advice.</p>

<p>My plan is to stay is US or to work in Europe.
So, is it really hard to get a job with a business degree from a non top 10 uni?
It could change by the time I graduate right?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
