<p>Im in community college first semester. Now im not the best at math and never even took physics or chemistry. However, i can easily get A's in business courses and i find business pretty interested and exciting. however, engineering is in more demand and would allow me to get a job right out of college. Now if i choose business i will take easier courses, therefore, a higher GPA would be easier to obtain and that would allow me to transfer into a top 50 busienss school easily. However, if i pursue engineering im not sure of the outcome because of all the hard classes i will have to take.. What would be a better choice for me? Im ambitious and im sure ill succeed which ever path i take i just may not be able to transfer ot a top 50 engineering school if i pursue engineering. I need a job right out of undergrad though.. if i pursue finance i was looking at becoming a trader because im erally good at that.</p>
<p>What are you more interested in?</p>
<p>thats just it im interested in both …</p>
<p>If you think you’re going to get into some of the best of the best business schools just by having a good GPA you’ll be in for a rude awakening. They’re going to look at much more than that and some even require several years of experience. I would expect to have 4 years of work experience, at a minimum, before you will be taken seriously (unless you are an amazing, standout superstar). </p>
<p>Engineering graduate school is not really about rankings as much as business school. For example, if MIT does little or no research in FIELD X but University of LowRanking is the leader in the field… guess which university is a much better choice if you want to work in that field?</p>
<p>What you should probably do is take some of the basic requirements for engineering such as calculus, physics, and chemistry since you have zero experience in this field before making a decision on the path you want to pursue. If you do very poorly then engineering might not be for you. However, if you do well or at least fairly good then you might want to pursue engineering. You can most definitely get into business school or engineering graduate school with an engineering degree. You might even get your employer to pay for you to go to school.</p>
<p>what about computer science? thats jsut it i dont want to get a masters or PhD i just wnat to do 4 eyars get a good paying job and live way below my means while i invest 10K a year and in 20 years well that will add up to alot with compound interest.</p>
<p>You don’t have to go to graduate school for engineering, business, or CS. It’s optional. It may be extremely helpful to earn a graduate degree and open up a lot of job opportunities… or it could largely be a waste of time. Most likely it will be somewhere in the middle, but at no time will it be required. You can get a job with any of the aforementioned majors with nothing more than an undergraduate degree.</p>
<p>Also, your investment strategy is a bit… primitive. I hope you don’t plan on entering the financial world with that kind of outlook!</p>
<p>no way investment banking is not for me like ki said about i rather be a trader/consoltuant or perhaps a financial analyst… plus if i double major in finance/computer sccience id have way more job opportunites it looks like im not going to consider engineeringg its just not for me.</p>
<p>Wall street normally only recruits from top schools, unless you have a Ph.D in a quantitative field.</p>
