Does a college minor hold it's own weight??

Well, I have a bit of a different view…which is less concerned about what a hiring officer thinks. These days, there seem to be more students going for occupational majors like engineering or business. Practical yes…but BORING. My thought is that you should choose a minor that is interesting and enjoyable. Indeed, if that is math or economics go for it. My s is a business major and chose history. He really enjoys those classes. Me? I was a psychology major and minored in business. Both of us were looking for balance I think.

In the end, I don’t think it means much. So, go with what you like (especially if you’re not passionate about your major).
