which is the better degree for my unique situation?

engineering or finance/accounting

i work about 30 hours a week because i have to pay all my expenses myself(mommy and daddy can’t help me out),i have just got an associates and have finished my general eds,i like both of them alot but i know engineering takes alot of time and it is kinda like a medical because professors really don’t want you to have a job and want you to spend alot of time on it,on the other hand i have taken some accounting classes and know about finance and i know i will be able to study and understand the material, i am a junior and i used to declare myself as a comp sci/eng student until until my counselor said should i consider changing it or don’t work so much, i had to work so i decided maybe it’s time for a change, my counselor even asked me if i had a girlfriend and i said no and he said good because i won’t have time for them either,so what do you thing, all comments are welcomed

I think your counselor is trying to scare you into taking your studies seriously. He may be concerned that your priorities are in the wrong place, and he may not understand that your working is not a choice, as it is for many students. I think that if you love engineering, you should study engineering. It will be a challenge, but you have done a lot on your own already. I also wonder why you haven’t been eligible for more financial aid, if your parents can’t help you.

I would suggest finance/accounting, its simple stuff and you don’t have to study as much as engineers so you’ll be able to work but you can get a great job after graduation with a great pay b/c people in business are always needed by banks, corporations or you can start your own accounting firm where you can do taxes for people…

Good Luck!!!
