What do u think?
Would I enjoy financial analyst pos? financial advising?
i qualify for a 5yr bba&mba at once. i thinking about finc or econ, as major, or real estate (but my univ doesn’t offer that). should i gain some workign exp before i start a regilar mba or continue right after my bba? i am afraid my mba would not have much market value, as i do not have any direct exp in those field. what do you think? which comp should i intern with? look for an entry position? plz help!

I suggest you to obtain an MBA after you graduate

This is to answer whether you should go for MBA prgram. My advice is that you should get your undergrad diploma, work full-time for a couple of years then do your MBA. Or, you could find an internship, or co-op in you want to pursue your MBA. With your kind of background, I’m sure you are in a good path.
Why don’t you try the Big 4 for a summer job? Trial and error will not hurt you, instead you’ll gain some experiences and become more determine in what you want to be in the future.
