<p>Welcome to the private sector, engineering included.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>These seem like exceptionally good reasons for you not to major in engineering.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Depends on what you see is beneficial. Business raises everyone’s standard of living through innovation, but doesn’t “Help people” in the vague freshman premed type way.</p>

<p>What year are you and do have the prerequisites for engineering (e.g., Calc III, physics, chemistry)? You need to be at Emory for at least a year before starting the business school, which is competitive. The business program would then take two more years. You could also do econ and engineering, but econ isn’t great here and you would need at least two years of full-time study at Emory and two years of full-time study at Georgia Tech. Also, unless you are a Georgia resident, you will have to pay out-of-state tuition at Georgia Tech, which Emory financial aid will not cover. You will not be able to acquire Georgia residency while attending Emory unless you will be over 24 or one (or both) of your parents moves to Georgia and takes a full-time job here.</p>
