Ok, so I’ve just found out that Aerospace Eng is more specialized therefore jobs are more limited while I can still work for an aerospace company with a Mechanical Engineer; however, I’m still confused whether I should double major and I do know it’ll take more than 4 years to complete. So, should I take Aerospace first and get my BACH or just double major now? Which option is better? In addition, I’m thinking about minoring in Business, or what do you think is the best minor for this major? BTW, is it normal to exceed 4 years in engineering, especially aerospace?
Get a masters degree in business administration instead of a minor. The main goal of your first engineering jobs is to get experience in engineering, so a minor in business won’t make any difference at that point. Just worry about your engineering degree for now.
During the first two years, all engineering majors take almost the same classes so don’t feel under pressure about choosing between mechanical or aerospace yet. You still have some time to do a little more research or learn more about these two majors before you make the final decision.
You might consider taking some business courses as your elective units to save some time when you go to grad school.
