Programs Help me out with my major(s) (Please)

[AlphaOmega3fa]

I'm currently in my 2nd year at Stony Brook University. I initially planned on majoring in ME but now majoring in physics. I'm mostly interested in quantum and Newtonian mechanics; I have a distaste for electrodynamics and am not looking forward to optics but I'll try my best.

My main goal in life is to have an impact in space exploration(and habitation), and now because the focus in the industry has shifted from NASA to businesses, companies like SpaceX, Armadillo, and Ad Astra are making progress. I plan on getting involved in the business and hopefully heading my own one day. I know some of you must be thinking, "Who does this guy think he is?" lol

I think I may need more than a Physics education to achieve this, so I am thinking about an Economics major or Business major/minor in addition. But I also have a nagging feeling that perhaps an engineering education would be better overall although I plan on going to graduate school to attain something like a Applied Physics/ME/AE/MBA degree.

So, I'm setting my sights on the big cheese. What do you guys think? What should I do

The best thing about creating a business is that you don't really have to have a degree in any particular field to make a business out of any particular field! My aunt does labels for a company down in San Diego that makes excimer lasers for use in the CPU fabrication business (and when machines take up multiple rooms, labels AREN'T a trivial matter). The company was started by a couple physicists and chemists! Hell, people say you don't use anything you learn in a business program out in the real world so what's the point?
