/biz/ - Business & Finance

Is this accurate?

/biz/, let's talk majors. What were/are yours?

I also need a little advice. I'm a senior in high school, going to college next year, and I don't really know what I want to major in. For awhile, I thought I wanted to do economics or political science, but I've since realized I don't want to be in an office my entire life (I basically just don't want to be bored and stuck indoors).

Now, I'm thinking maybe engineering (especially petroleum engineering, to make some bank), so I can at least get outside and do something interesting. My long term plan is to accumulate enough wealth that I can become an entrepreneur maybe in my 30s, which is really my dream.

Are the STEM majors a meme? Should I do economics instead? Is working in an office as terrible as I think it would be? Is engineering an interesting profession?

BTW, I've applied to some fairly selective schools (Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, etc.), and UVA has offered me a pretty good deal (12k/yr for tuition+room/board), so wherever I go, I'll be receiving a good education.
