Double major or minor?

Sorry I meant to say “sacrifice any depth”. Again, I’m taking every single class I would have to take if I was in either major, the people single majoring have exactly the same depth in both majors as I do. As far as your claims, if you have actual data that compares double majors to single majors with regards to salary and acceptance rate into grad school I would like to see it, otherwise saying that is purely anecdotal. “Anecdotally” I’ve heard that double majors make about 10k more, I could care less however since I’m doing it purely because I want to and because it ADDS to the depth of my program. My primary interest is aerospace propulsion, so I added mechanical because it has more courses in thermodynamics, heat cycles, and vibrations, all of which are applicable to my field of study. If I do decide to go to grad school, I think they will understand that I didn’t put out the extra effort for no reason.
