<p>which one in your opinion do you think is best, and which one has better job prospects?
Also, after i major in civil engineering or business, im planning to join law school? would you do that in my place? if not what would you do?</p>
<p>Those are two very different things and you yourself need to make your own decision. We can’t help you with that. Figure it out, then come back with your verdict.</p>
<p>One step at a time. You know you want to go to law school, so where exactly do you want to apply it? If you’re going to become involved in something like criminal law, then I don’t think either choice is good.</p>
<p>tl;dr: figure out what you want, then give us more details.</p>
<p>I like both, I like business because I like to be a leader, I have initiative I am honest and I tend to make quick decisions with good outcomes. Also, I usually have very good ideas to get things done and people usually like them.</p>
<p>I like civil engineering because I am creative, like to design, as I mentioned , I like to lead, and I also like to get dirty and work on the field every now and then.</p>
<p>If I could take both of them it would be great, but I can’t. As you may infer, I would really enjoy working as a businessman or as a civil engineer, but sadly I have to pick one.</p>
<p>The reason I am posting this, is because, since I love both of them I would really like to know which one in your opinion is better and which one has better job prospects now and in the future. Any of those two majors will make me happy.</p>
<p>I don’t know about civil engineering, but majoring in ‘business’ isn’t specific enough. There are many majors within a business administration program/degree. If you can narrow down to specific business majors you’re interested in, on this forum you can find more information about the majors. For example, there is like a 2,000 posts thread on “Everything you need/want to know about accounting”, if accounting is what you’re interested in. I would say the main factor in deciding between the two very different majors of business and engineering is how good are you with math.? I have friends majoring in mechanical engineering and if I remember right, they have to study up to calc 3. If you’re good with math, I’d say go for engineering. Starting pays are much higher, but mid career pays for specific business majors pass certain engineering disciplines. Also, I think there’s a sub thread or whatever specifically for engineering majors. Maybe you’ll have better luck posting this there as well.</p>
<p>It’s true. At this point, I would say it’s all about the math. However, it’s all about the science too. You might be able to understand multivariable calculus and differential equations, but will struggle with physics, or vice versa.</p>
<p>If you can handle the math, I would say go with engineering. Oh, and you can still be a manager. Many engineers go get their MBA to qualify in managerial positions.</p>
<p>Further, many engineers end up working in business because of the math skills they have. I met an engineer who’s working as an actuary now at MetLife. Straight out of college. It’s not to say his engineering degree went to waste or because he couldn’t find a job. Instead, I think he found something else that he really enjoys.</p>
<p>
Then why would you go to law school?</p>
<p>where I come from people usually take two things they’re interested in, in my case, one of those two majors and law, if there are not jobs available in one, you can go to the other one and vice versa</p>
