Berkeley has been my top choice college for some time now. I read an article today in USC’s Viterbi magazine about a man named Sony Astani who majored in civil engineering and has become one of the biggest real estate devolopers in Los Angeles. Real estate development is the field that interests me most, and I have been inspired to pursue a degree in business. Upon reading this article however, I am figuring that civil engineering and real estate development (large commercial projects) go hand in hand. I am interested in pursuing a double major in business and CEE. Does this seem like too much to handle? I know that Berk has the best civil engineering program now in the nation, and i figure it would kick my butt, but is it manageable? Any suggestions on a general path to follow for real estate development?
