Here’s my situation:

I am a dual major in Business and Comp Sci. What I would like to do after college is something related to real estate development. Recently, I have been considering switching majors to something related more to real estate (like planning and development). I always thought that a background in engineering would be applicable to anything (which is why i chose to major in this, even though i would never want to be a programmer or anything like that), but i think that more specific studies (related to real estate) would be more beneficial for getting a job in that field. So my question is: would it be beneficial to switch into a major that is more specific to what i want to work in, or would the benefits of switching be out-weighed by losing the flexibility of an engineering background, even though its not as applicable to what i want to do? Any advice would greatly help! thanks!
