Would it be better to obtain a double major in computer science and another business related major, or should I just stick to computer science and get a job after I graduate without having to attend more college. Going straight into the job market would likely help me return to school sooner and get my MBA rather than having to work more before returning to school because I earned a double major

I’m not quite sure why you think that double-majoring in business and computer science would require more work experience before returning to graduate school to get an MBA than simply majoring in computer science would. Honestly, for what you want to do I don’t think it matters what you choose to major in. Plenty of people start tech firms with only one or the other major; if you major in CS, you can simply team up with someone who has the business/finance knowledge. You don’t have to know or do everything yourself.

I don’t think you have to make any decisions at this juncture. I don’t think you should rule out the engineering schools that don’t have business programs, though. Just apply anywhere that seems appealing and then see what happens when the acceptances and financial aid packages come in next April.
