my problem is that I want to double major in EE and Petroleum or EE and Nuclear engineering.
But I don't know wheter it's feasible or not.

Why don'y you minor in something. At my alma mater, many engineering students majored in an engineering field and minored in Mathematics.

It's tough to decide on a job. If you're having trouble you could wait to declare a major, and then go to the career center when you get to college. They can help you make a logical choice based on both what you want to do and the financial aspects of different jobs. I don't think having the most lucritive job is important, but you don't want to do something that doesn't get you anywhere either. Just plan on trying to define your major by the time you're in your sophomore year. You won't fall behind. I'm in Education, and I decided to go into special education. I'm really glad I did now. My degree allows me to teach whatever age and whatever level I want. There is a major shortage of special education teachers in this country. Plus all of my classes are absolutely facinating and I really care about what I'm going to be doing. So if education is one of the areas you might think of going into, then you might want to explore special education. I wouldn't do communication. Most people consider this a pretty easy degree for people who are in sports or don't know what else to do. It can be really hard to find a good job with one unless you're outstanding at it. Graphic arts is getting more and more people in the field. It is also harder and harder to find a job. Too many people are able to use a computer and make semi-decent graphics. So go into a different art field that is in higher demand. Hope that helps you! E-mail me if you need someone to bounce more ideas off. I'd be hapy to help. Good Luck!

I'd major in one of them first and then get a Masters in the other one. Even though you'll probably have to take a few leveling classes for the Masters, it'll definitely be less than getting a Bachelor's in it.
On the other hand..you could start out taking classes in both and see which ones you really start getting interested in. If you end up loving both then go for the double major. Good luck!

I would advise against it. The problem is that most of your real education in engineering will come in your upper level engineering courses. Most engineers who double major or major in one field of engineering and minor in a second end up sacrificing the opportunity to take an upper level course in order to make room in their schedule for a lower course needed for the 2nd field.

I did my B.S. in physics and EE. It was a lot of work (be prepared to study your *** off), but in the end I got a good job and into a good graduate school. Best of luck!

If you have the brains and the energy to deal with an even heavier course-load than the usual high one engineers take, then go for it.

No, it just shows that you are unfocused and not sure what you are doing.
