finance or industrial engineering?

<p>I am in a community college major in business. After one year, I'll be transfering to a 4 year university. At first, i'm thinking of major in finance or accounting or MIS. However, I am really good at science and math, so I'm thinking maybe I should make the best use of my strength in engineering major but still leave my door of business career open. I did a lot research on the engineering major and found out industrial engineering is more a combination of engineering and business.</p>

<p>industrial engineering+MBA or accounting/finance/MIS+MBA?</p>

<p>I want to know which major is more challenging and open more doors ( more versatile) thatI can go into a lot of different industrials with.</p>

<p>Which one do employees prefer? Which makes more money in a long run? Which job is better?</p>

<p>An IE degree coupled with an MBA is going to give you the most options. </p>

<p>IE is just like any other field of engineering. Its going to be challenging and involve lots of math and science. </p>

<p>The options with IE are pretty much endless though.</p>

<p>I like challenging major and I like Math. In my understanding, finance major only enables you to know the money stuff; however, industrial engineering not only gives you the idea of how money functions in a company but also teaches you how to allocate things more efficiently including money. Instead of dealing with the money, I can also do other jobs since I have other skills. Am I right? Is industrial engineering major teaches you more things that you can practice in the workplace while you feel like you learn nothing practical from the finance major?</p>

<p>Also, when you go find a job, is there a gender bias between job candidates?
Is employee more likely to hire male industrial engineering majors compared to their female counterparts? ( I am one).I am looking forward to your answers. Thank you so much.</p>

<p>Would it be a loss if you don't get an industrial engineering major as as undergraduate when you do an MBA later if you want to be the manager?</p>

<p>I heard people with an industrial engineering major will be more likely to end up in the management than any other engineering or business major.</p>
