Are minors actually meaningful?

<p>Do employers pay attention to minors at all, or do they just look at your transcript/the classes you've taken? For example, is there a difference between taking lots of finance classes and earning a minor (essentially ~5 classes) in finance or between being fluent in Spanish (a couple classes) and getting a minor in Spanish?</p>

<p>I’m not an employer, but in my personal opinion, minors don’t do much for you in terms of prospects - it’s more for personal enlightenment.</p>

<p>On the other end of the spectrum, it can depend however - especially if the minor is in a related field. For instance, a minor/concentration in petroleum/petrochemistry with a BS in Chemical Engineering can concentrate and gear you more towards a career in the petroleum world. Does it help in getting the position? I don’t know.</p>

<p>major in what you need to make money
minor in what you like</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You may eventually do what you like for a living, and in that case your minor becomes your major.</p>

<p>Quick question-would a minor in business give you a better chance at mangement?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I disagree. Major in what truly interests you because that will make it easier to wake up in the morning and work. Hopefully, the money will come too.</p>

<p>I have a question, what if you minor in engineering, general. And major in aerospace engineering.?</p>

<p>I doubt most programs even allow that since you’d probably cover 90% of the requirements through your major.</p>
