[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my area it used to be the “elite” students would do pre-med (biology), pre-law (history), then [b]finance[/b] was added in, then it seems finance dwindled a bit and CS was added in, and now it seems almost all in my DC friend group are talking about applying for engineering - only a few for CS.

Big shift from when my nieces/nephews went to college a few years back.  Most who wanted engineering got in - now it seems so many more are vying for the same spots.[/quote]

Most of the people from my cohort who went into finance majored in engineering. Some were also econ. There wasn't a "finance" degree.

There's finance major under school of business

Maybe now, but not back in the day in my cohort. Not all schools had an undergrad business school. [/quote]

Who cares about back in the days

It's 21st century already[/quote]

This thread has been discussing the evolving popularity of the engineering degree over time. Many people with engineering degrees go into finance. Now and also back in the day. It's nothing new.
