Do any of you plan to get a minor in anything after you transfer to your UC? Will the minor play a huge role in your future career or is just there for you to pursue another interest apart from your major?

one of my friend told me a student graduated from UCLA as BizEcon major and accounting minor. He worked as a accountant or something and made good deal of money.

If this is true, I would say yes, it plays a huge role.

good thread, I was wondering about this question too. I'm a business econ major and it doesn't require that many units to complete, so filling up the minimum unit requirement with a minor sounds like a good idea.

Yeah, I heard a minor does make a difference. Especially in my case where I'd like to become an HR manager or VP; so I decided to major in Sociology, with a minor in Business (I think it's new at UCSD) or Economics, then eventually get my MBA.

I want to get a music minor just because I love music.

I want to get a minor in econ.... because my dad want me to study econ and for job opp
but my true love is biochem (major)

Haha, my dad is pushing an econ minor on me, as well.

But, I am thinking of minoring, or possible double majoring, in philosophy -- in place of what I was initially going to minor in, Statistics, as upon further analysis a stats minor would be a bit unrealistic with my current plans -- with my current major Political Science. My motives are largely rooted in enhancing my reasoning abilities for the LSAT; but with phil, my writing skills will invariably increase as well, while stats would have increased my abstract reasoning.

Poli sci and math major/minor. Math would open doors into finance and other jobs with a quantitative focus. If I had the time/money I'd do a minor in English because i love literature. I'm sad that LA doesn't offer an art minor.

"I want to get a music minor just because I love music."

i know a guy who got a music scholarship, but didnt really like music that much so he took the scholarship and doubled in viola and EE.

Minors will not help your job prospects, as they lack depth and breadth.
