<p>I'm a HS senior who should probably turn in my applications soon. Too bad this also means I need to decide on the rest of my life...</p>
<p>I like math and your basic physics, so I'm considering some kind of job in engineering. I'm not a technical type of person so I think I'll stay away from EE. I am wondering if someone could give me some feedback on this major to help me decide if this is the right one for me. </p>
<p>How much work does it require in college? I've heard engineering takes a lot of your time, but I'd like to try to balance academics with a social life. I thought about majoring in business (possibly finance or accounting?), but I'm not sure if the corporate route is for me. Any advice would be appreciated ASAP.</p>
<p>Business engineering? Could you explain that as well as civil engineering in general? I thought I wanted to do architecture (for like a week) but found out that took a lot of artistic ability and precision I lack.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know I don't "have" to know my major right away. It's just that 1) I need to put something down on my college applications (I use the Texas Common Application in which you must pick a major/ school) and 2) I really don't want to spend any more time AND money in college than necessary.</p>
<p>Just put something down then, that's what I did and I already think i want to change what I put down on the common app. You won't waste time or money by doing this, your degree will require a certain number of elective credits anyway. Besides, changing fields within the engineering college could and probably will qualify some of those classes you've took as mandatory for your new major that you switched to.</p>
<p>If you want complete descriptions of majors check out the college board. They will describe the major as well as what you would do in that career and they also have a thing called MyRoad which is a little bit more in depth. Both are very helpful.</p>
<p>What I was saying with the MBA is that you could get your undergrad degree in engineering, then get a masters in business admin. This could put you in engineering managment and lead to higher salaries as well as incorporating the business aspect of engineering into your job. It's pretty common for eng. grads to go get a MBA, so don't fear that it's outside the norm.</p>
