Right now I'm doing electrical engineering with the plan of using the high salary of an engineer to help me invest. Would it be smarter for me to just switch to business since I really hate engineering?

No reason to change majors, the two go hand in hand. It'll just give you a step up pon the road to investor you may find yourself finding places to invest in by doing your electrical work. And if you have to buy a few rentals to get going you will have a great skill that is always employable. You sound ambitious-go head on, never drop a dream. Good luck. You can do it all!

You can be both same time.Investor invest money.Entrepreneur thinks into the project and make it real. For example an Entire Building Office. You can have ideas and be an enterpreneur but dont have money and for that you need an real estate investor or bank.But like i said if you have money and ideas you can be both same time. Is like being an musician and ask if you can compose your next song.Sure you can ,but others can write it and you can only play the music loud.hope it helps.

Keep your career. You may not feel that way in the future. As far as real estate investing you will definitely need capital to get it off the ground. Its better not to borrow, but in real estate that is close to impossible, at least you can save for a down payment. Build your credit. You will get much better rates with good credit. There is no short cuts to being wealthy. It takes a lot of hard work and patience. Good luck...

If you really hate engineering, I don't think you should keep studying it. There are plenty of ways of making money without needing to use your money as capital for your investments, so I don't think you really have to switch, either, but everyone's different, so you might want to.
I would, instead, use the money to learn how to invest in real estate. In other words, instead of spending that money on my academic education, I would use it to improve my financial education. But that's just me. good luck, whatever you decide!

I would not recommend doing something you hate for school or job. Software engineering is fun. I have been doing that for about 20 years. I would look for something lucrative for your degree. I don't know enough about a business degree really to say. Computers are so much a part of any business and you get a computer / business degree? That way you can use your math and logic skills and get a good grounding for your eventual business.

Stay with your major! You will be able to pick up the Real Estate lingo and do and don'ts very quickly with a few good classes and a mentor. The trick to real estate is buy low sell high and hurry up and wait.

Keep your major, and it wouldn't hurt to also get your real estate license. You don't have to have one to invest, but to me it would only enhance the direction in which you are trying to go.

"...really hate engineering". Drop it, soon, but keep all the credits and whatever knowledge you've gained. The math will be especially helpful.
