]]> clueless-1 Wed, 07 May 2008 12:00:52 +0100 Reply from chev.jame /post/158542-i-am-torn#reply-3712050 I’d go for petroleum engineering, for sure!

I am not very sure. For each course, they will send to different countries so maybe this is another problem for me. I don’t really know which country I would prefer. This shouldn’t cause me a problem should it?

Meaning to say, we can’t apply for the scholarship but only get picked by those company who offer the scholarship.

Designing a building or device, or landing a great business deal? Here’s something to think about: get a good, solid foundation in a discipline such as engineering–you can always “branch out” into the “business side” later on!

Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder and chairman, didn’t get a degree in business, but today he’s one of the richest men in the world. What he had first was a solid knowledge of computer software and applications. He used that to develop and grow a successful business.

I’d personally advocate going into engineering. You’d have a more solid career than becoming a “generalist” in business. And this is from someone who has an MBA.
