Which major/minor combination is best? - :) - 10-14-2012 04:13 AM

Note: I am a junior this fall and have already completed a psychology minor, but have hardly started on the communication studies or the business and marketing education major.

Which degree combination would be best for someone who isn't sure about going to graduate school or entering the workforce yet:

Double psychology and communication studies major (+study abroad for a month)
Communication studies major, psychology minor (+study abroad for a semester)
Business and marketing education, psychology minor (+study abroad for a semester)

While I love social sciences/liberal arts because they stretch your mind intellectually, I sometimes think the latter option is most logical since I desire a "good" career.

The dumbest thing someone can do is double major. An undergraduate degree is not concentrated and your goal needs to be graduation. No one hires a person with a bachelors in a subject and expects them to be an expert on that topic.

Graduate then get a job that pays well and have them send you to school for a Master's. But you can't do any of this if you spin your wheels for 7 years working on a useless double major.
