Listen to your dad.

Engineering is good but its the patroleum part that daunts me. I have a feeling that the world will have a change of energy. In the long run wont gas and oil be replaced?

Sorry, it's 2:30 am for me & can't give you any advice now but what's with people saying 'Listen to your dad"? Are they serious or they're just trolling? Why would someone go to Uni and do course for at least 3 years just coz their dad suggested? WTH! Who is gonna apply & live with what they studied from the Uni, him or his dad?

Alright, the only advice I can give you now is that YOU should do something you like & enjoy but at the same time be realistic & think about the long term & what you're going to do with the degree, i.e. job prospects/opportunities & even if you've to do some more higher education is it worth it, and can you switch into another program or you'll just be stuck in the same field etc.

Alla macak.

It's going to be a long time yet until that happens. But you shouldn't forget that even if you study petroleum engineering you can work in business, the analytical and problem solving skills you will learn will be transferable. You will actually have an edge over Business graduates. I met quite a few people with physics degrees working in finance, to do structuring (all the imaginary products investment banks make) you need a science degree preferable physics or engineering.

But as Keynes said in the long run we're all dead.

I didnt think of it in those terms thanks. I actually might double majors in two different fields but not at the same time.

Either way try to get some experience as you study, do internships and stuff

Manual labor? No thanks.

Your dad wants u to be a 'man' and enter a manly line of profession. But your cerebral state of mind not to mention your biology make-up, is unmanly and therefore opts for something simple and easy such as the 'latter' choice u have picked. Its a matter of a dad putting his own manly dreams on his unmanly son. Engineering is a very MANLY, demanding and very financially rewarding profession. What gives huh?

There is nothing more reliable than an engineering degree

anything is better than a business degree, heck having just GCE a levels is better than a business degree waa kharbaan miiran oo aan faaido lahayn.
