Is Jerome necessary?

<p>I’m in a similar position. I’m very interested in business, and thus am interested in getting an undergraduate business degree (hopefully from Wharton). However, my parents strongly recommend for me to get some sort of engineering/technical degree, and then get an MBA. I can see their point but I’m not that interested in engineering except for maybe computer science (which isn’t really engineering). My plan was to get a dual degree in business (emphasis on finance) and CS at Penn (if I’m accepted that is :P). My question now though is, is getting an MBA even worth it after an undergraduate business degree? I wanted to get my undergraduate degree with an emphasis on finance, and then MBA would be managing, but then I heard that those two (finance and management) are two completely different tracks and I’d be better off getting a Masters in finance or something. For now, I think I’ll try and stick to my dual degree plan and see what happens in the future. Any advice is welcome :P</p>

<p>Also, what is the difference between going undergrad business –> masters in some sort of engineering as opposed to undergrad engineering –> MBA.</p>
