<p>Which one of these double major combination can you do "more" with? </p>
<p>I've always wanted to me an investment banker, but currently I'm in a non-target school (Though still ranked top 25 business school). </p>
<p>I'm probably about 3 years away from graduating so I'm not entering market tomorrow.</p>
<p>But like I said, I've always wanted to be an investment banker, but I understand I need to have assurance in another field as well...</p>
<p>**
Finance + Math Major</p>
<p>vs.</p>
<p>Finance + Engineering Major</p>
<p>Which one is better based on chances in I-Banking, flexibility in the real world, how well one compliments another, job opportunities, work load in college, and so on. </p>
<p>Both are great choices but I'd prefer the engineering b/c you can get a job specifically in engineering and there is always a need for good engineers. With a math major your choices are more limited to the actuarial sciences of whatnot. Ibanking wise, I really don't think there would be much of a difference, engineering is more flexible, engineering probably compliments finance better b/c it teaches you how to be analytical, engineering more job opportunities, engineering more workload in college....so yeah...can't go wrong with engineering for sure...but it's going to be a hard double major.</p>
<p>What about the theoretical aspects of math that engineering doesn't provide? I've heard math work more your abstract and critical thinking ability. Though I'll admit engineering is also really good in terms of practicality and critical thinking ability. Though both math and engineering are analytical.</p>
<p>Doing Finance and engineering increases your job opportunities. But besides that, they kind of compliment each other in a way. Engineering compliments finance, in that it brings more analytical, quantitative, logical, thinking skills your way.</p>
<p>Dude, I really hope that you aren't picking those majors just so you will be able to get more job opportunities/i-banking. If you are genuinely interested in it and know you can do it then go for it, otherwise don't...you will end up regretting it later on. Plus that whole finance + engineering thing sounds way too ridiculous.
It's easy to talk now (3 years before graduating) about what you will do but it's a matter of whether you will do it and succeed in it. I personally would do something I am good at and succeed than do something I am average at and not go very far. But then again, I don't know what kind of person you are so you may do fine in them.</p>
