Is a smart move to double major in Anthropology and Marketing?

I'm also still deciding if I should substitute Anthropology with Sociology, so which one should I chose? So anyway will my duel degree in Marketing and Anthropology (or Sociology) help me in the job market? And will doing so be a hard task to complete both majors at once?

A double major usually doesn't bring much to a resume. A double major is nice when you have an interest that doesn't give you a useful job skill. Marketing is usually paired with statistics or finance so you have a marketable skillset that will help you on the job and give you an edge. Anthropology is an even softer major, so it's probably not worth the extra time and money.

^I agree with opened, although I think econ might be a better fit for marketing than finance. Econ studies how consumers make decisions, usually has more stats/math than finance majors, and, since it's a social science and so theoretical, it might give you a more well-rounded, holistic view of business.
