Hey Aska,<\/p>\n
Sorry if I missed the answer to this, but I was wondering – do you think it
\nmakes a difference if you double major or take a major and two minors? In
\nany way at all? The only thing I could think of is having a double major may
\noffer a bit of a leg up in job searching because you’ll have a major in two
\ntopics. I’m not sure how much employers really care about that though.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
Are you interested in pursuing academia, or just the general job market? Because in academia, depending on the field, your marks and the program you’re applying to, two majors could make you a more viable candidate than two minors. If it’s just a general job search, just having a degree might be good enough. What are you looking to do, man? As always, you should contact the head of your department if you are looking to pursue further graduate study in that field.<\/p>\n
