Doing and Industrial Engineering masters on top of an Environmental Science major plus your Economics would make an amazing combination (finances permitting). Again, trying to get some experience in IE while still an undergrad would also boost your employment options.

Indeed, with an Economics major as well- that’s an excellent grounding for a business job in its own right. You’ll be in a stronger position than the straight EScience route.

There’s always a bit of risk regarding any major we choose to do. No med school student is guaranteed graduation You’ve got a solid plan and know what you want to do and where you want to work. You’ve got more figured out than many 40 year olds! If it feels right, go for it. You can always change your mind later.

P.S. Having a google for alternative titles for Industrial Engineering, there’s also operations management and management science- don’t know if that helps with the colleges you’re applying to.
