<p>hey,
I've been wondering about what to major in in college(i graduate in 2011)
im looking for something thats challenging and is a good earner.
im quite smart so i think i can cope with anything
id also prefer to double major.
i heard double majoring in architecture and civil engineering is tough but if done is an excellent job and a great earner.
i also heard about majoring in chemical engineering and minoring in petroleum..
any help??</p>
<p>Public accounting.</p>
<p>Marietta College has a petroleum engineering major.</p>
<p>mm, i donno
i was thinking about civil engineering + business, i read somewhere that this is a good combination…??</p>
<p>math+CS 10char</p>
<p>Yeah, if you like being creative and analytical, do CS and maybe Math as well/instead. Get a job with the NSA or some intelligence agency/contractor or something.</p>
<p>Just keep your slate clean if you really wanna do that. They don’t accept riff raff.</p>
<p>“i was thinking about civil engineering + business, i read somewhere that this is a good combination.”</p>
<p>No</p>
<p>Civil Engineering is the least employable major engineering major. Also, you’re likely to get either a job from the business degree, or the engineering degree, making one of those majors useless. </p>
<p>I think engineering is probably the best at ensuring a job, from which you’d be best off taking your pick from any of the major engineering majors (except Civil). Other majors may provide better opportunities for some.</p>
<p>Try and look at what interests you. Not just “I always get good grades in history class, I should major in history.” Find something that truly interests you! If you’re worried about earning potential, almost any major can be parlayed into very well paying job if you are competent enough, which shouldn’t be a problem for someone who is quite smart.</p>
<p>I understand posting a thread with a few choices and asking for pros and cons, but the premise of this thread is ridiculous.
Strangers on the internet can’t tell YOU what YOU like. If your only concern is money, I’d suggest going in as undecided and figuring out your real interests, because money shouldn’t be your driving force.</p>
