<p>I am going into my third year of industrial systems engineering. I made some mistakes in my life, and so I will be graduating a little later than I hoped. Currently I am 25 years old. I am contemplating in which direction my life should be heading, and I'll be honest. I'm confused. </p>
<p>Here is my question. Is it better to graduate in three years with an industrial systems engineering degree (aka systems engineering), or to graduate in four years with a chemical engineering/industrial (not systems) engineering doublemajor?</p>
<p>Would having that doublemajor even really do anything?</p>
<p>My plan after the doublemajor would be to get my masters in Chem Engg at Berkley or Caltech, and hopefully by then I will have enough of a competitive advantage to make up for my lost years. For arguments sake lets say I get into these Universities to do my masters. </p>
<p>Would I be better off finishing my IsysE degree in two years and going straight into the workforce since systems engineering is supposed to be a rapidly expanding and desired field, or would I be better off pulling the switch and changing directions completely?</p>
