CAN'T DECİDE ABOUT UNİVERSİTY

[keremakan3]

im going to collage next year( im not gonna pay any dollar for it) and i cant decide between business school or computer engineering.
i read a lot of business books but i think that computer engineering is gonna help me more when i start my own business.

What are the other options?

You've presented a this/that scenario, but there are a lot of college programs. There are also a lot of types of business.

Business college might help you in some businesses. Computer engineering might help you in other businesses.

I earned my degrees in psychology, but a music degree might have been more fun, and still applicable for starting a business.

The usefulness of college mostly comes down to mindset. Any degree can be leveraged for business by the right person

I'm not sure how OP's business school syllabus is like...but for my own business degree, my first year didn't start by majoring in any specific biz field. First Year was spent in fundamental courses on accounting, marketing, biz law, banking & finance, economics, data analytics...

This was a good move because these basic courses could give you a hint of other areas of business, even though you ultimately choose to specialise in 1-2 key majors. And studying these could hint to you WHICH field was great, and which wasn't.

Through the First Year classes, I realised marketing was merely some over-branded English lesson, management was also the same plus hypocrisy (ahem), economics was too wishy-washy and biz law was too bookish. I didn't want to run after the CPA route of accounting, so I was left with the more left-brained data analytics and banking...my double majors.

OP,take some starter courses on business or computer engineering.

Harvard or Udemy online courses are also OK. That way, you don't have to pay big bucks just for first classes, or commit very huge time commitment.

Your first concern here is to gain some initial exposure, and see if what you might learn interests you and starts the gears in your head creaking.

get jobs in and talk to people doing both. take classes first semester in both. watch a billion YT videos on both.
get immersed and see which one resonates!
