Who's more likely to be happy in the future: an art student or an engineering student

<p>@ThisMortalSoil</p>

<p>I’m sure a few of them are, and there’s nothing wrong with that. If someone just wants a good job so they can provide for themselves and their family, then I imagine they’d be perfectly happy working in a technical discipline even if it wasn’t their biggest passion. Besides, if someone really hates their chosen major/field, I can’t imagine they’d be much good at it.</p>

<p>Lol don’t lump business majors with hard science and engineering majors</p>

<p>Art student: care free, free-spirited while in school, “oh-my-gosh-how-do-I-pay-these-bills” after school.</p>

<p>Engineering student: stressed-out during school, vacation on the beach after school.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>only if you’re CEO</p>

<p>If you have the funds, why don’t you double major? Or consider majoring in one and minoring in the second?</p>

<p>hahaha so true, undergrad business is relatively not that hard (but of course depends on the business concentrations and if you’re dual/triple, etc.), so now I hear many business jobs that used to hire business grads actually like to hire engineers more. So I guess some engineers pick the major for a solid undergrad background so that their options are not limited after graduation, not all engineers want to go into a specific ‘engineering’ job after graduation</p>

<p>It depends on so many factors, the art student who can never pay back his loans since he wanted to live it up and focus on having fun in college , might be very depressed for the rest of his life . But if he lands an awesome art job , and makes good money he might be happy . </p>

<p>Same thing for the Engineering student , he might not make the cut as an Engineer in the real world . Or he might invent better headphones , become a millionaire and live a fantastic life . </p>

<p>Who knows. Happyness is a state of mind though, i’ve meet miserable rich folks and happy poor folks .</p>
