You wouldn’t even HAVE to do much arguing there. It all depends on which major in business, of course, but in general, engineers work much harder than most business majors. Of course there are lazy engineers and diligent accountants, so in that case I am sure the business person would work harder, but in general, unless you are doing Finance or Accountancy, no major in the business department even comes anywhere close to how much work and time engineering takes.</p>

I would say for me it is time management. The nature of engineering here is that you will have one week where you have lots of free time and not a whole lot of work to do (relatively) and then another week you will need 36 hours in a day to get all your stuff done and still have time to get good rest and stay sane. The hardest part is forcing yourself to work on stuff in advance during those slow weeks so that you aren’t quite as overworked on those hard weeks, something I have been particularly bad at. Group projects factor into those weeks, but not really so much until junior and senior year.</p>
