Can anyone please help and give me some advice what to pursue between Accounting and Engineering? I’m an incoming freshmen student that having a trouble on what to choose from the two careers I’ve mentioned. These two careers are both interesting to me and are my dreams but now I am very very confused I really don’t know what to do!! I’m running out of time now because the starting of class is coming soon. Please help meee!?
Both of those are pre-professional majors that lead to a specific kind of career, so I guess one good place to start is to think about what kind of career you’d like. Would you rather be an accountant or an engineer?
Do you have any experience exposing you to what people in those careers do? If no, maybe use this summer to try to shadow some people in one or both of those careers. Start with your parents’ networks and work outward to see if you can find someone; you might also use your future colleges’ alumni networks to find an engineer or accountant in your area.
Normally I’d say you have time to decide - but both of those majors have lots of sequenced classwork, so it’s better if you do know going in that you want to do one or the other so you’re not behind in your coursework.
