honahrubin notes," I think most people have figured out that degrees which should require good writing skills are still handed out to people with terrible writing skills"

Response: I don’t think that is true. Certainly , I don’t feel this way. One of the biggest complaints among partners, even at major conferences, is the lack of decent writing skills of new recruits. Having an english minor or major will definitely make you stand out. In fact, if I were a recruiter, I would defintely be impressed with anyone who had an additional major or minor in english.

With that said, however, I would only minor in english. There are better choices for duel majors such as computer science, forensics, criminology etc. Minoring in englsh should garner the same respect as a major in english. Eiother one will defintely make you stand out, as long as you have a good GPA.
