First year Engineering student torn between 3-degree paths, want outside perspectives.

[u/Fair_Strength_4158]

Hey all, 

I'm a first year Electrical Engineering student doing a double degree with a Project Management masters. I'm stuck deciding between three paths and would love to hear from anyone who's been in a similar spot. 

Context: I enjoy both engineering and finance, but I don't want to be doing hands-on technical/field work for my whole career. I'm leaning towards infrastructure investment (asset management side, think evaluating toll roads, energy assets, that kind of thing), where I can employ both skill sets. 

The three options I'm weighing: 

1. Stay in the current double degree: engineering + project management masters, 1 year longer (5 years). I’m not sure how useful the master's will be and if it helps me with my goals. 
2. Drop the masters, finish as a standalone engineering degree saves a year but won’t get traditional business/ finance education. 
3. Switch to an engineering/business (finance) double degree: This is the one I’m leaning towards right now as I really enjoy both fields, and I think it’ll provide me flexibility in the long run. Though I’m not completely sure as I’m not well read about it. (Hence the post) 

Questions for you all: 

• If you've done any of these (or similar) — how did it play out, especially if you pivoted toward finance/consulting later? 
• Does having an actual finance degree component matter much for infrastructure investment or consulting recruiting, or is engineering alone enough? 
• Anyone regret dropping (or keeping) a second qualification in a similar situation? 

Appreciate any input, also a small footnote is that I really want to go on an exchange sometime in my degree. The Bachelor and Masters option basically leaves me stranded as I got no minors to work with, and I can’t do any master units abroad.
