    Go for Engineering, if you're stuck. Can open up lots of opportunities.

    As professors/students/employers told me when I was stuck between subjects last year, it's a whole lot harder to learn something like Engineering than it would be to learn something like Management or Advertising Law outside of college.

    Also you would be qualified from a lot of Engineering courses (some require an extra year or so). Most of these qualifications are internationally recognised, so you could work abroad.

    Plus some Engineering students are picked up by businesses (which might deal with engineering firms) because they would have specialised knowledge which Business graduates wouldn't have. So you could end up, after a few years, having an Engineering degree and the same knowledge of a Business graduate :)

    There are too many of everything. Do what you have a passion for. Its very rare you come across a successful person who says "oh I hate this I'm just amazing at it."

    The other issue is it's rubbish that money doesn't buy happiness. Of course it does. Very few people ever have enough money though, so you probably want to look at other ways of being happy. One way is do what you enjoy.
