Should I Transfer?

<p>I am debating whether they change universities or not. Right now I am in first year engineering but really hate it. There is a much more presitigous school 's business program I am interested in.</p>

<p>I have enough grades and extra curriculars (e.g. I started a business (real business, not a little kid business where I deal with big corporations), and a non profit, a club, host a radio show, wrote a book on my spare time, part of Free the Children, etc) so getting in isn't something I am worried about problem.</p>

<p>I have no desire at all to be an engineer. What I want to do is start another business when I graduate. Something much larger than what I already own.</p>

<p>The problem is tuition at the other school is very expensive (three times what I am paying right now) and I feel bad spending too much of my parent's money; I'm sure they'd pay, but then I feel guilty. Admittedly, I really do not do much for my parents and I feel terrible spending anymore of their money.</p>

<p>However, I am certain that right now I am in the wrong major and that switching schools is something I really wish to do. I know the whole business school faculty but I couldn't care less what happens in the engineering faculty.</p>

<p>"In-school" major changing is not an option; no other major in my university interests me.</p>

<p>Do you have advice? I know its not the best thing to ask for advice on these things, but I'd really like some input.</p>

<p>Please feel free to ask questions.</p>

<p>No one can answer that question for you, but there's no point in staying at a school and a program you don't want to be in. If you really want to be at another school, talk it over with your parents and maybe try to pitch in for some of the tuition if that's possible. I'm sure they'll understand, after all, they want you to succeed. :)</p>

<p>I am aware that no one can give me a definite answer. I just wanted the opinions of others.
I see alot better a future at the other school. I already have a business established, and that school's business program is the best in Canada. Some graduates if go to the right field lets you make more than 50,000 starting.
Plus, not that I can't do well, but I don't want to be an engineer or anything research related; I simply don't click with it.</p>
