<p>I'm thinking of doing a double major in both Communication and Economics. I don't really know what I want to do career wise, and I would be able to finish both majors in 4 years. But I'm still not sure if I want to major in econ, or just get a minor in econ. I feel if I only have a major in Communication, employers might not think as highly of me as Communication is regarded by some people as kind of a joke. Also, I would have to retake a Calc class that I had a great deal of trouble with the 1st time around if I was going to major in econ. Should I do the double major, or should I just focus more on Communcation?</p>
<p>If you have a strong passion for both subjects, then double major. If you like one major considerably more than the other, than major in that one and minor in the other.</p>
<p>I'd suggest taking classes in both and then decide whether you want to double major in both or choose one in a minor. In either case, you will eventually need to take at least some of those classes whether you declare one a major or a minor.
You don't need to decide right now.</p>
<p>Also consider researching what employers in your field value.</p>
