<p>I have little knowledge of either program which is why I never replied to the other thread, but I can say this: engineering is probably one of the best fields you can get into in terms of job prospects and money and I would bet that it will take you farther in the long run than an economics degree. But, considering I have little experience with either program or career, you may not want to put too much stalk into my opinion. Do you have any older people you can talk to about this? How about the career center at GSU? Any of your parent’s friends or coworkers? </p>
<p>Does Tech have a economics degree? If you go to tech, at least you have both options and you won’t be stuck with economics if you come to UGA (wow, this is like the second thread that I’ve defended going to Tech…then again they were both about engineering…)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t decide which school to go to based on social life, though if it’s that important then obviously it should play some role. You just have to weigh whether a social life is really that more important that your future career.</p>
