only if double majoring pushes you into a 5th year, or to take more credit hours than you need to.

its not worth it unless a) the majors overlap a lot (finance/econ for example), or b) you genuinely have a deep passion for both subject. a minor means less, but at the same time makes your degree more specific. minors are easier to get and prepare you for your more specific future career path. for instance i’m majoring in econ, and plan to minor in math because graduate econ is very math intensive. you could major in education and minor in history if you wanted to be a history teacher. along those lines.
