I'd like to go into one of the more mathematically involved business fields when I graduate, possibly accounting, or if I were lucky, i-banking.

I was wondering how much a difference for me to major in an engineering major or a non-engineering business major (AEM, economics.)
Also, what major in engineering would best prepare me for working in business or getting a MBA?

I've always been a science person and would like to study something related to the science. However, I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle and pain to go through engineering if I wanted to work on Wall Street eventually and not very interested in doing research. How valuable does engineering really make you for such careers?

Thanks!

I don't really have any experience so I can't offer any advice but I remember looking at job listings for some of the top investment banks and one of the specific majors mentioned was engineering. It seems that these companies like their analysts to have engineering degrees.

You should know that the math in accounting and engineering are very different.

if u go to an elite (top 25 school) and/ or get good grades in engineering it's definitely a possibility if ur engineering

I go to cornell... I understand its possible to do business after engineering, but is it worth the hussle than just getting an undergraduate business degree?

Engineering will prepare you well for Business, Law, Medicine, just about anything you can think of
