Do I got a good major?

Question

I have a double major (real estate/finance) and got a good gpa. I was wondering from people already out in the real world or who work in these fields if they are a good one to go into the real working world with. I heard that engineering wasn't a good field because of the influx of foreigners who really excel in that area (china, etc) but I think that might be rubbish. Should I (1) finish these majors and try out the real world (2) finish these majors and try to stick out with a few more years trying engineering or computer-related major (3) Go to graduate school for business (if it is even worth the time, money, and stress >>> which I guess is another question on its own)

If your going to complain about the grammer don't bother answering.

Answer 1

I'm confused. Do I got a good major? Yeah, as long as it's not in English. But the rest of your question seems pretty educated. My niece is an engineer, and she makes megabucks, and she is only in her twenties. But she also knows how to fix tool and die machines. And she can also fly planes for the air force. Where does she make the most money? Repairing tool and die machines. Real world? My nephew works in computers and makes mega bucks as a techie. Foreigners have a very difficult time obtaining degrees here in that field (engineering) and usually their credentials are not recognized here unless their degree is from here. My aunt is a doctor in Poland. But if she were to move here, that degree would be just about worthless. She would have to either attend school here, or somehow have credits transferred here. Very difficult. She chose to stay in Europe rather than come here and struggle all over again. Depends too what state you live in. Engineering is a good field, however computer skills are needed everywhere, costs less degree-wise, and are more in demand. And if you're really good at what you do, like my nephew, you can name your own price as a consultant. Check it all out, you're young enough. My understanding is graduate school isn't worth the money. People think they can't afford you. And most jobs you apply for, they will give you a polite notice basically telling you you are overqualified for the position; which means they don't want to pay you what you're worth, and would rather hire somwebody with less education.

Answer 2

I dunno if your an exchange student or not ,
but your major seems pretty neat!!
O would love to do finance and something else.
real estate is a great field.
just remember to join professional associations in you major so you can get in though with "big wigs" in your field and watch opportunities unfold in front of you.

and yes, please brush up on the English. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

Answer 3

Real Estate is where it's at right now. In the bigger cities, people are into 'flipping' houses for some major profit. If you can be the agent for this, you can get a pretty good commission on these 'flips'.

Good luck.

Answer 4

To be an engineer you would need a degree in engineering. A business degree won't get the job done.

Whatever you decide, you need to upgrade your English skills. "Do I GOT a good major" is soooooooooooooo wrong as are several of your other sentences.

Answer 5

I dont mean to be mean right but i sore i just read "Do I got a good major?"
Come one what are u going to college for.
Anyways u should study something that you are interested in. If u like wat u study now u should go for it. Besides there's good money in real estates.

Answer 6

I think you should finish these two majors and stay in for a minor in English.

Answer 7

I couldn't answer your question. I couldn't get past the fact that your into sentence wasn't correct. Its "Do I have a good major?"
At this point in time I would worry about studding harder, than I would about your major.

Answer 8

Try majoring in English grammar, you need it.

Answer 9

I must agree with DME.
