Right now I'm on co-op (an internship) and on my way to getting my Mechanical Engineering degree.
The problem is, I am not sure its for me. I feel so closed in, and a 9-5 job inside my cube is really not making me feel good. I have considered switching majors, but to backtrack what would probably be equal to 2 full semesters does not fit well with me. The damage of backtracking 1 year would be like paying for 2 years, and would probably not see sufficient returns.
So, what if I added something after? I have thought about Law, but that takes a long time and the LSATS creep me out.
Then, I thought about business. I could go after an MBA, or could go into a new type of program called MEM: Masters in Engineering and Management. Both of those sounds really good, because I like the business aspect of jobs. I dont like being the bitch of the workplace as I am in my internship, and I certainly like making decisions. I'm president of my fraternity, and really enjoy making an impact. Thats what I like to do.
Anyway, is getting an MBA/business related masters useful with an engineering degree?! Do I make more money? Will I end up getting the same job?
I'm a very very confused third year, and while I know I should be...I'd like some direction to help me out =P.
and FWIW: owning a tri shop is not an option.
