<p>I'm planning on double majoring with these. I do plan on going further than a BA or BS for psych but I'm not going to think about that right now. Film is another huge interest of mine. However, I get the most bull***** from people when I tell them I'm doing this. Honestly, what is the problem? Not everyone is destined to go into Business or Engineering. It's ridiculous. I honestly think that if someone has the passion, he/she should work hard and that can bring them success, not just soley based on the major. Ugh. People are so ignorant.</p>
<p>I believe you just answered your own question. But for some reassurance, you’re right. You should major in what YOU want to major in, not what other people would deem ‘more practical.’ You are the one paying to go to school. YOU are the one who will take advantage of the education those majors will give you and decide what to do with them. They’re only as useless as you make them out to be.</p>
<p>It depends on what YOU want to do with them. If you wanted to be an engineer, chances are they’d be pretty useless as terminal degrees. If you wanted to, I don’t know, be a film critic or work in the film industry or become a psychologist or a researcher, I think they’d be much more useful. Neither are going to guarantee you jobs or a salary, but then again, no major can do that. </p>
<p>I say do what you want, and when those who scoff at your perceived impracticality are miserable 5 years from now after making their own oh-so-practical choices, you can snicker all you want.</p>
