Is an Economics and Spanish Double Major useful?

College Majors

<p>I have been accepted to the International Business program at my chosen university. Through it I will get an Economics major with an international business concentration and a Spanish major. Is this a good/marketable/useful combination? Thank you.</p>

<p>Hmm, personally, I’d minor in the Spanish, and instead I would then perhaps double with Latin American studies. Since you want to have a focus on international business, LA studies could be your concentration within the concentration. Some parts of South America are actually performing well economic wise. I think this could good starting path… </p>

<p>That would actually be a very useful combination, especially if you intend to work in Spanish-speaking countries.</p>

<p>It’s useful if you intend to work/live in Latin America. Keep in mind that most people who study a language just because it’s useful tend to fail. (This doesn’t apply to English; it’s a special case.)</p>

<p>Also, take a look at this article: <a href=“Johnson: What is a foreign language worth?”>http://www.economist.com/blogs/prospero/2014/03/language-study&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
