It may sound easier but comparing business vs engineering is like comparing apple and orange. I have known a kid who did bad at math and science when he was in high school but he excelled in mechanical engineering at Drexel U (he didn’t make friend and all he did was study and spent time at the learning center).

In business, if your gpa is below 3.3 then you’d be at a disadvantage when it comes to jobs.

A lousy engineer may make a great businessman and vice versa.

What comes down is choose what would match best with your personality and liking. If you are a crappy engineering, i’m sure no one will hire you and if you are a crappy business major, i’m sure it would be the same.

Whatever you are studying, you may want to change your study habits and time management. Treat it as your full-time job and I’m sure you will be fine in engineering.
