What good would an EECS minor do?

BACKGROUND: So I’m extremely indecisive and have been thinking about trying to switch from a biz(or econ)+applied math major to EECS. This, however, would give me a potentially suicidal semester and no guarantee of admission to CoE…and I still don’t really know if I “hate” biz and may want to do i-banking later, so I would take UGBA 103/102a and anything else I needed anyway…given I can get into the courses and CoE.

** QUESTIONS: ** Say I decide to keep biz(or econ) and do an EECS minor instead of doubling in math, will I be able to get a nice job in engineering (or CS) if I like that more? I’m assuming an EECS/biz double would be impossible and suicidal (me and my GPA) hahaha

Or is a minor really just for my interest (“useless”), and should I just do the suicidal semester thing, apply to Haas and CoE, see if I get into one or both, and go from there?

When thinking about getting a job, which would be the most strategic way to go? EECS, biz+math major, biz+EECS minor? Just personal interest at that point?
