Majoring in Chemical Engineering, thinking about picking up a minor in either...
1) Management
2) Commerce
3) Business
4) Other (please state and be specific)

Engineer with minor in _________ with MBA is my final goal... fill in the sentence. Opinions, advice?


AND WHY?

Management,

Engineers w/management experience are generally very attractive to companies.

Either management or business. Unless you want to be an engineer for a very long time, plan on slowly moving into the management side of things!

Why business over management? I would think management is more employable.

sexology. I just think it would be cool to be able to say "I've got a degree in sexology baby.."

Hmm. communications I guess would be good too, but I believe it's not really "upper-end" in terms of skill level.. wouldn't management be higher up?

Minors really don't mean much. There's probably a minor you're already halfway to getting anyway...figure out what that is.

In my case it was Women's Studies. I sh!t you not.

Wouldn't it look better on grad school applications say, for business (MBA?)
