Can't decide between the two, I'm heading off to UofC next year once I graduate from High School.
I'm interested in both business and engineering. But I can't seem to get my decision straight...one day it will be engineering, the next I will want to go to business.
Right now I am unsure of what to go into.
I have been good at "making money" since I was a little kid selling off my bikes to get money for better ones, then selling the better ones to buy even better ones. I think I went from a $200 (Canadian Tire) bike at age 13 to a $2200 bike (Giant Glory for you bikers) when I was 15. Never lost any money on my sales, only made profit which was used to buy a better bike.
Nowadays I sell other things (legally!), selling electronics. I've made roughly $1000 in profits in the last two months...not bad in my mind for the amount of work I do.
Anyways, so there's my business side. But I'm also interested in the sciences. My grades are top notch (+90% in sciences) and I'm taking all the high level courses right now, including some university level chemistry/math. Right now I am very interested in engineering, building and fixing things has also been a hobby of mine. I always work on the car and I like to solve for variables and do those tricky physic problems.
But I'm still undecided on which route would be most beneficial to me. I am uncertain.
So I thought maybe some of you engineering/business students/graduates could chime in and let me know the pros/cons of each faculty or the field.
I know in business if I don't go into it directly from high school I will have to wait until my 3rd year of university before I can get accepted. But I would get lots of space for options so I can "explore" the various subjects the university has to offer.
On the other hand, in engineering I can only have one option block, the rest are picked out for me already. So not much exploring if I want to do other things.
Not sure which would be best for me right now.
Perhaps others in other fields could chime in as well, I'd appreciate all the opinions I can get.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
