Which career choice is most profitable/marketable?

<p>I like them both i guess it comes down to which is the most profitable/marketable.</p>

<p>So my 2 choices are </p>

<p>Industrial Engineering and then getting an MBA</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>Business/Finance with a minor in economics and eventually getting an MBA</p>

<p>The one you find more interesting and enjoy more would probably pay out more in the long run.</p>

<p>its hard i like them both, although I think Industrial Engineering is more challenging</p>

<p>Where do you go to school? At Penn and Michigan a business degree might be more marketable. At Columbia or Princeton an Industiral Engineering/OR/Financial Engineering degree is more marketable. It really depends on the strength of your business school and of your engineering school. If both are equal, go with the engineering degree.</p>

<p>I was accepted in Purdue ranked 3 in industrial engineering usnews, i was also accepted in Northeastern ranked 27 in Business which is ranked 27 on Business by businessweek with an A+ job placement and an average 55,000 starting salary. I don’t know how good is the job placement and the average starting salary for industrial engineering after coming out of Purdue can i get some help to make my decision thanks.</p>

<p>I would suggest you look at the occupational handbook and see between the two which one is most promising.</p>

<p>NEU has a co-op program, so job placement is pretty good. Purude might be a bit better at placing you if you do more traditional engineering like EE or ChemE. It also depends on your career goals.</p>
