      Engineering degree + MBA is a killer combination.
      That it can be. I'll be back for that starting next year most likely. When you combine those two degrees you can go a lot of places.

      Even without the MBA a ton of trading firms etc, love engineers who were in competetive sports. They have the math and analysis part and then the crazy i want to win side.

        I would suggest picking up the book Strengths Finder 2.0 and taking their assessment. A lot of organizations use it to determine where their employees' strengths lie, and how to best utilize them. My sister and I have both done it, and it's seriously scary how accurate it is. It will also suggest careers that fit you best, and that again seems to be spot on.

        On a personal note, I was like you when I was your age. I was analytical, fairly technical, and enjoyed math and science, so I chose engineering since it seemed like the logical choice. Turns out I hated engineering, but am very good at business. What you *think* you want to do may not be what you're good at and get the most out of.

            Yeah there's a lot of higher math in an MBA and when you have an engineering degree you start with a big advantage over everyone else. Financial modeling and equity analysis come quickly to those guys.
