Chemistry as a second minor?

You may all think I’m crazy, but I need some honest opinions on this. I have many, MANY academic interests and for a long time now I’ve been very unsure of what to study. I’ve had a handful of ideas I’ve been back and forth on: web design, chemistry, computer science, creative writing, sociology and linguistics are all subjects I’ve considered doing a major or a minor in.

I’ve recently decided that as of now I’m going to go for a degree in computer and information technology with a concentration in web development so I can become a web developer. Having so many interests, I think that it may be in my best interest for the sake of personal fulfillment (since this clearly won’t beef up my résumé) to do at least one, if not two minors in fields that interest me even though they are of no relation to my major or to each other for that matter. So I am fairly sure I want to do a minor in linguistics, and I am considering doing a second minor in chemistry just to satiate my drive to study all of those fields. So my question is: do you think I should take on this second major in chemistry, or pursue chemistry instead of linguistics for a minor, or something else?

Thanks!
