<p>You can try it… hehe. You’ll know whether to stick with it or not pretty quickly. Before getting to college, a lot of students (myself included) have dreams of pursuing multiple majors and insane curricula. It all dies down pretty fast… there’s really just not much utility to it.
In the end you get the same thing out of any engineering degree: problem solving skills, team-work, some project management, and design. The rest are details. Something like poli-sci and economics, on the other hand, could be a good option. Not really any overlap there but at my school both majors are pretty short and easy, and expose you to different things.
Also, don’t double major for the sake of employment, do it because you are really passionate about both subjects. If you want to boost your employment chances do practical things… independent projects, research, internships, join cool clubs, start a business, do some freelance work in something you like, etc… much more useful and fun!</p>
