<p>I am entering a top 20 (top 10 for my major) ranked engineering school in a week with Aerospace Engineering as my choice of major, no minor as of yet. I am not currently in a position to decide if a technical job is for me, although I'm into science and math, of course. However, I'm also interested in the business side of things, whether it be management, brokerage, investment banking, heck, maybe even entrepreneurship ect. I'm willing to work very hard and I have ambition. </p>
<p>However I don't think I should make the switch into a business major: my school isnt extraordinarily well ranked in the field and I want to keep my possibilities open.</p>
<p>I know things like brokerage are tough start ups and everything, but this is what I'm considering.</p>
<ol>
<li>Finish B.S. in Aerospace or Mechanical. With a minor in project management or technical entrepreneurship to give me more business electives.</li>
</ol>
<p>Then it can go two ways.</p>
<p>2.work experience off a B.S. for a few years. Save for B-school.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>MBA</p></li>
<li><p>Hopefully get hired off a top MBA program.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>OR:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>work off B.S.</p></li>
<li><p>Company pays for mba or masters</p></li>
<li><p>management/tech track at company.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Are these unrealistic? Without an MS in engineering, my salary wont be as much (if I can even get a job). Will I be able to pay for the MBA? </p>
<p>Thanks in advance to people who reply: I will be using advising resources at my school as well, but I'd like an opinion.</p>
