<p>Simply put, you don’t take as many classes in your minor as you would in your major, i.e. 36 hours or so for a major, an additional 18 hours for a minor.</p>
<p>Minors will normally keep you in school another semester or two in order to graduate, so I don’t know a lot of people with minors. If you pick a really good major, then you really don’t need a minor. For example, I think it’s totally pointless to major in finance and then minor in economics. You already have a career with the finance major by itself.</p>
