Construction Career Path

My main goal in life is to eventually have the opportunity to open my own construction company. I would like to get into real estate as well and become a general contractor. I want to Have the ability to buy land, build on it and then eventually sale or rent . I am currently a construction engineer student. I would like to know the business side of the industry as well as the knowledge of building things. Am I on the write path as an construction engineer? Or should I major in construction management? I’m confused and would like to have someone who knows more about the field advise.

Construction engineering and construction management are pretty similar and will get you similar jobs coming out of school.
