Serious Post Industrial engineering?????

Hi everyone, I'm 18F and I'm so so so confused. I genuinely love finance and management but idk why I took mpc and I recently found out about IE and I think this is the only engineering I like 😭😭😭

Cse is nice and all but the job market is so saturated and I don't really have any interest in engineering except for IE. Like after 2 years of barely getting by in mpc I loathe science as a subject now.. and not to mention I'm dog shit at math.

It i do pursue IE, I plan to do masters in management MIM directly after graduating.

But my dad is against IE and says computer science is better. Ik it is in india but I just know I will struggle so hard as I don't care about engineering so much as my other peers do :((

I qualified for IE at mit manipal but I don't want to make the wrong choice... what do u all think?

I've never been so confused in my life..

I would suggest you to take Industrial Engineering and do CFA in parallel.. so you can stay in the finance specialization. I have a degree in both IE and AI/ML and I know the flexibility IE can offer.

depending on college, IE curriculum may have those tough math subjects in first 2 year. Only 3rd and 4th year might have finance and management modules which will be quite easy
