Would a major in engineering be too closed-up?

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>I'm a junior in high school. I'll have to be applying to different colleges soon... I of course am not sure about what I want to be, but I have narrowed it down to this:</p>

<p>-Movie Producer
-Business <a href="especially%20involved%20with%20engineering%20and%20technology">B</a>**
-Senator/Politics (President haha )</p>

<p>2 QUESTIONS...</p>

<p>---First, I think an MBA from a top school like Harvard would be great for any of these, or am I wrong? (i.e what if I want to become a senator, is it common to have an MBA?)</p>

<p>---Second, I don't know what to do for undergraduate. Film major? Business? Engineering? Political Science? Economics? Which one would be the safest, that would encompass all of these, and that would leave my options open even after I graduate and then maybe get an MBA.</p>

<p>For example I think I could ignore Film throughout college and STILL go to Los Angeles and join a film academy afterwards if I decide to do so, so I'm probably eliminating film as a major. But what about the rest?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Engineering gives you good background for whatever you want to do, because it trains the way you think not just how to be an engineer. You can really major in anytime of engineering and end up in a business career or get an MBA, but some schools offer majors that align more closely with business. Try looking for degrees in Engineering Management, Operations Research or Industrial Engineering. But engineering is tough, and if you don’t have a real interest in it, you will undoubtedly struggle to get into an engineering program and succeed in it.</p>

<p>thanks, i’ll have to look more into the realities of studying and practicing engineering before i make any decisions but your post was helpful</p>
