Should I major in engineering?

Quaestio

Hi, so I am a freshman in college and I am really not sure what to major in. I entered college an Accounting major because I really had no idea what I wanted to do so I went with a business degree by default. The thing is, I am considering switching to engineering. The main reason I want to switch into engineering is because I know that an engineering degree is generally of much higher value than a business degree and that undergrads who major in engineering generally have better job prospects than those who major in business I know I can handle the mathematics and I tend to be very studious by nature so I am confident I can handle the course work. Now, this isn’t to say I may not want to end up working in business one day, I may choose to go for an MBA down the road, but I think an engineering degree as an undergrad would be much more useful. So, should I just go for it or what do you think?
