EE vs Operations Research Major? Help!

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>I'm trying to decide between the two. EE is a very marketable degree, and it's kind of cool learning how most of our appliances and technology work. It has a HUGE workload though.</p>

<p>OR has a lot of the same classes as EE, but no papers or labs. It seems like it's less marketable, too.</p>

<p>Job prospects straight out of college don't matter because I go to a military academy and am guarenteed a job after graduation. I want to go to flight school, but it's extremely competitive.</p>

<p>So...do you think EE or OR is better for me? Thanks!</p>

<p>I suppose higher GPA is the more important factor for flight school?

<p>Just to add more info for your confusion (I know, I am not helping), having a major in O.R. would qualify you for graduate Systems Engineering programs…which the AFIT is very well-known for.</p>

<p>The thing with Systems Engineering is that you can specialize in just about any engineering area, including EE.</p>
