<p>I'm a freshman at JMU in the engineering program, but as most people know Tech is known for engineering way better than JMU. I was wait listed last year,and ended up getting rejected. I have concerns about three options, 1. Finish Engineering at JMU and go in to MBA program for graduate school. 2.Tranfer to V-tech, and persue my engineering degree in aerospace and go to masters degree in engineering. 3. Go in to accounting major which JMU is known for in College of Business. The only problem with JMU engineering is that there is no aerospace engineering which is what I really want to do and they only have just engineering degree. Some people are saying having engineering background with MBA will help alot getting jobs, and some are telling me that just go all the way with engineering. What do you guys suggest I should do? I want to fix airplanes for my career at airports LOL, accounting is my back up major.</p>
<p>My sister is in the reverse situation as you. She is Business at Virginia Tech and was rejected by JMU – she plans to transfer to JMU for their Business Major and better connections to Sodexho, etc etc. She would argue for a switch to Business unless your dream is truly to have a BSE.</p>
<p>You don’t need a masters or an MBA to get a good engineering job. Finish up this year at jmu and focus on getting a good gpa. Try to transfer to VT next year, with a good gpa you should be able to. Graduating from VT with a aerospace degree, you shouldn’t have a hard time finding a good engineering job. If you decide you want to go on and get a MBA or a Masters in engineering, so be it, but first I’d work a few years to make sure you want to do it.</p>
<p>If you truly want to be in engineering, I wouldn’t see any reason to go for a business degree.</p>
