<p>We actually have several minors that could help add some spin to your major when applying to jobs. How much a minor, or even courses taken, matters to the person hiring you is completely arbitrary and will vary widely. Some will think that the extra calc courses make you the perfect fit, others will think that because you don’t have an actual Applied Mathematics degree you’re useless… The best you can do is prepare yourself for every situation as much as possible.</p>
<p>Check out this page for the list of minors:</p>

<p>The most job-applicable ones that I saw were:</p>
<p>-Accounting</p>
<p>-English (If you’re going into a Branding firm or Marketing)</p>
<p>-Global Studies (If you’re looking at an international firm)</p>
<p>-French, German, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, or an Asian Language (If you’re going to be doing international stuff with a country that speaks this language)</p>
<p>-Labor and Workplace Studies (Sounds interesting, I haven’t looked into it much though)</p>
<p>-Mathematics</p>
<p>-Statistics</p>
<p>I personally favor the Mathematics minor, but it requires 6 classes of calculus taken in order. Any of them past 31A/B could murder your GPA lol, depending on your aptitude for math.</p>
