| i had a feeling somebody would disagree. i've heard the "major in something practical and something you like" wayyy too often, that i don't think it works for everybody. if you're concerned about finding a job, you should do internships in the field you're interested in... not major in something you have no interest in for the sake of its practability and then try and do something in another field completely unrelated. by trying to have something to rely on with not much interest in it can leave you overwhelmed with too much going on if you can't focus too well on more than one things. i've tried the double major in practical and interest, and i just got so overwhelmed that neither worked out for me, until i just dropped the practical.
i'm not saying, double major in something similar... like journalism and communications, or whatever. but i don't find the advice of trying to split yourself in half very efficient. |
