Is it possible to get degrees in electrical engineering, computer science, and economics all at once?

You'd be a jack of all tades but you will be shit to mediocre at all of them.

>> No.11445921

EE / Econ sure
CS / Econ sure
EE / CS probably not
All three; Nope

sure but it would take 8 years.

Triple-majoring is possible but logistically stupid. You have to take a massive course overload every semester and there will always be a ton of scheduling overlap issues, since you're taking a ton of courses that mutually don't care about each other.

Most people who have a job don't remember most of what they learned in school so in the end I won't be any worse than someone who is specialized

MIT offers a degree in EE and CS in one. Get a bachelors in that. Then do a MBA.
?????
Profit. You're Iron Man.

Why, yes, I do want to go to MIT, then get an MBA, and make a 7 figure income.

I mean if you think thats how you think it works you're gonna have a bad time. But I'm not your dad, life is the best teacher

Yeah but personally you'll be nothing special because you sabotaged yourself. So if you want to be a cog in a machine and not have value, go for it.

You are a cog in the machine whether you like it or not

I mean if you want to limit yourself like that, by all means

Why would you want to? I understand EE and CS or econ and CS because CS has good synergy with quantitative fields, but what good does studying econ and EE do to you?

>what good does studying econ and EE do to you?
Nothing, I was talking about getting all three. But I've been convinced to go with CS and econ.
