I took an average of 18 hours per semester to pack mechanical engineering and business minor into 4 years. Worked/did internships over the summers.
Year 1 was easy
Year 2 was harder
Year 3 was most difficult
Year 4 was about the same as year 2. (easy by comparison)
During year 3, I literally spent more time on campus in the mechanical engineering computer lab and classes than I did at home. Rarely was I at an actual library.

I always say, if you don't already have a plan of what you want to do with your degree then don't go to college. Too many people go and waste their money on a degree with no future. These people have basically ruined college forever by driving up the cost and helping create a generation of debtors.

Going to disagree with this. Broad spectrum of job opportunities, from oil and gas, to medical, to finance, to manufacturing. Look at the acceptance rates at top business schools and their starting salaries, definitely not a dime a dozen. I am going to give you a pass this time because I assume you read it on the internet somewhere and are merely repeating it.

That being said...I don't know how many of my would-be-peers dropped out of engineering to study business. Business seems to scoop up what technical majors spit out. It's no surprise that business degrees are considered in that light, given what can be seen in academic advising offices on a weekly basis. I remember being frustrated with it and wanting to switch into a more forgiving major, but I didn't want to study business or psychology, or any of that BS. Technical majors are where its at

And I am assuming you went to UT by your avatar. McCombs is one of the top business schools in the country and one would be very fortunate to get in. My friends that did graduate from McCombs are out earning my friends with petroleum engineering degrees.
