I am majoring in CS at SEAS. What minor should I pursue to supplement my major so I can get the most bang for the buck when I graduate?

so it all depends on what you intend to do with that cs degree, if you are going into something theoretical or programming based then do applied math, if you want silicon valley in something other than solely programming - do electrical, mechE (esp for robotics), something medical - BME, law - poli sci, wall street - econ or OR.

comp sci is as applicable as all that, it's a highly employable major, I assume all these fields pay well, Denzera might be able to tell you which ones pay better.

At last, a fellow CS major!

I was thinking of minoring in either EE or something completely unrelated—say, photography or Classics. I hear i-banks love CS+Econ.

actually, most i.banks and whatnot hire cs majors to do their in-house solutions to whatever they need. if you want to be an analyst then yea, econ would be good, but if you want to actually program for such an institution (they pay their programmers really well) then you should not even worry about a minor and just take every single class you can in network security and the like.
