Picking a major naively?

<p>im one of the few that wishes he had a solid direction picked out before college. it’s already decided that im going to UNLV (university of nevada las vegas }. im moving there in the first week of july from new jersey, well not there, but in henderson. i was accepted for computer software engineering. that sort’ve fits what i love to use, computers. i love alot about computers building them, multitasking on them, gaming on them, but this major seems like it’s going far beyond me. in school, i do pretty well, 3.8 unweighted gpa. but at the same token, for some strange reason, the business world interests me even thought i know nothing about it other then theres opportunity to make mucho money. although i do like the way i look in a suit. and i’m alright with numbers. any advice or opinions?</p>

<p>MBA admissions people favor applicants with science undergraduate degrees and do not like applicants with undergraduate business degrees. As an undergraduate be sure you take the prerequisites for business school (economics, accounting, calculus, etc.) With a CSE undergrad degree and a MBA you would have a lot of options.</p>

<p>No offense, but why are you going to go to a mediocre school when you have a 3.8uw. Seems kinda like a waste of ability, imo.</p>

<p>because my move to nevada was top priority over everything. i never took into account colleges over there until we decided that i was going to nevada. and unlv seems to be the best school in that area. plus, my sat scores blow since i never studied for them :[.</p>

<p>im problably going to go in undecided.</p>

<p>I hate when people take this attitude. If he wants to go to UNLV, let him. There is no shame in that. A buddy of mine had a 4.0, and he wanted to be a fireman. You know what people told him? Waste of ability. It’s nonsense, just because some peoples dreams are different than yours does not mean that they are wasting ability. If the OP is smart and a hardworker he will do fin at UNLV.</p>

<p>Where you go to school doesn’t make a difference. It’s what you learn.</p>
