<p>Getting back on topic here: first off you have to know that a minor is not sufficient really to go into that field when you are looking for a job or trying to start a job. That is really true. A minor is just a little bit of experience of another field of study but it really isn’t good enough to say you have sufficient experience in the field.
Your minor is good when you want to say that it has help give you another insight to your current major. For example, a BME major minors in Bio, then the Bioengineering/BME major can say, I have knowledge of such and such before being altered by any biotech and after being altered by biotech. It is also like ChemEng and Chemistry, they can say that they know of studying the matter in nature and experience with altering that matter.
If you minor in Econ, then it won’t really help you if you want to start a job or anything, to tell you the truth, you shouldn’t really start a job unless you have a BBA, MBA or a really good Econ degree (masters or doctors). I really wouldn’t recommending you trying to start a company with a minor. Because a minor is less classes usually half to three quarters, it doesn’t really give you any first hand experience with research as a major does (depends) and it definitely will not be a big hit to grad schools and employers that you just minored in Econ and wants a job that requires mainly a MBA or a good Econ degree. Your degree is going to be BS in BME.</p>
