I want to start my own business some day, will majoring in business be a good idea?

I just don't want to work for anyone else, I really want to invest in real estate, maybe start my own business. Should I change my major to business or should I finish electrical engineering?

I would recommend finishing your EE major, because one of the major skills required in business is the ability to stick to something and finish it off. Another good skill is the ability to do delay your gratification. And the ability to provide a service to people.

Another skill you learn while studying, is the ability to find information. Then take a job for what you can learn, not for what you can earn. And use as much as possible of that income stream to invest in your business. And real estate is good, but it is generally a long term investment.

And study, study. I don't necessarily mean books, but also every investment - what was good, what was bad, what can I improve.

Good luck.

I think an engineering background is great coz it helps you in problem solving ..an MBA could help you too later

No! Take a course with a skill associated with it, e.g. engineering or finance.

I'm an engineer and have taken business courses. Most business courses are opinion and bullshit. In other instances, the business school was shocked that a 'mere' engineer could take an exam to get credit for a business course and do better than most business students who took the course.

The business skills are better learnt in business.
