Should I pursue economics or switch to engineering
Hey! I am a Economics student in the University of Bologna. I realized after looking online, this is an extremely prestige dependent field, and was wondering if it is better for me to switch to maybe mechanical or electrical engineering at the polytechnic university of milan. I talked to some seniors pursuing Econ masters at Bocconi and LSE and they advised me to take stem subjects like maths or stats. My only objective is to land a high paying job, preferabbly something to do with economics, and I see that major banks prefer hiring engineering graduates from polimi compared to econ grads from bologna as well! I am good at maths and physics, so I can handle engineering course work, it's just that economics interested me more and why I decided to pursue it in the first place. Any advice on this is highly appreciated!
Thanks!
