hey ppl i got a preliminary offer at the beginnin of this month for a bachelor of eng with a diploma but applied for the double degree eng n business for this main round. Now im haven second thoughts about the double degree because i cant specialise in civil and not sure which would be the better option and more beneficial.Whats everyone think. does specilisin outweigh having a double degree in the engineering field?

if I was do I'd do the double, don't worry about not being "specialised" - most employers value breadth of knowledge and skills more than specific technical knowledge, and the double degree would certainly deliver this.
