Engineering Major Needs Advice - Engineering major sophmore

I do not know the answer to the Wall Street question. But I would imagine electrical might look better. With all the computer programming skills electrical learns more intensively than mechanical, that could come in really handy for programming, say, trading algorithms. Of course all the math involved in engineering predisposes you very well, in my opinion. I was originally a mechanical major but switched to finance. The calculus didn't work for me when I was younger. But now I realize I just didn't work hard enough to master the calculus. Anyway, it sounds like you're very ambitious, and Rutgers is obviously a great school. One of my finance profs got his Phd Finance from Rutgers. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll do great. No matter what anyone tells you, you can go into any career regardless of major if you want it bad enough. If it were me, and I had the ambition that you do, I'd probably go for the math double major because there are many sub-categories of math that will carry over to Finance. Economics, in my limited experience, is so much more theoretical, something I didn't like so much, even though it was very important to get that foundation to then apply in my finance courses. If you did math, then stats and eco should com easy as they are applications of different areas of math. A double major on your resume' will look freaking awesome any way you cut it, especially if you have the GPA to back it up. Main thing in my opinion, if you want it bad enough, no person, no degree, no major will stop you from getting it.
