And it is also worthwhile to understand that graduating with divided degrees (like engineering and business) implies divided intentions, and few employers want to hire people who cannot even commit to a career field. If you take the time and effort and money to get a CPA license or an MBA I would certainly not believe you were serious about working as an engineer.

The only real exception to this is the MBA, simply because so many use it to change careers. MBA employers won’t much care what your undergrad is in, but it is a one-way career change and many new MBA’s are surprised to find that most management jobs want both the degree AND significant related experience!

Pick a career that is interesting and has an entry from college, then get the degree you need to enter it. If you later want to transition to something else, go get THAT degree THEN.
