<p>I want to double major in history and environmental analysis/environmental risk management because these are my two interests. However, is it really that hard to double major? The reason why I want to major in environmental analysis is that I hear it's a growing field and it's a high paying job, so I can make a good living doing something I like (helping the environment). I also want to do history because I love history, and my friend was telling me how history and environmental analysis is a really good combination, but I wasn't sure how that would work out. I'm not sure if I can handle double majoring, but would history and environmental analysis be a good combination? I'm also considering going to grad school for environmental analysis.</p>
<p>It depends on the college. Double (or even triple) majoring can be very easy at some but very difficult at others. AP credits would make double majoring a lot easier. I'm double majoring in Classics and Earth & Ocean Sciences with room left for a minor. A minor in history might be easier and give you more flexibility, though.</p>
<p>I see. But is double majoring in history and environmental analysis a good combination? If it's not I might just minor in history, but I was thinking that since businesses want environmental analysts to advise them, it might be beneficial to have a history major so you know the laws more thoroughly, since i hear most people who go to law school have a history major</p>
<p>Um, I don't know that a history major would prepare you to know the "laws". I think many people who decide to major in history make good candidates for law school because a history major teaches you to write well and think critically...and probably doesn't give you much practical experience to go out and get a job :P. It might be more practical to double major in business and environmental analysis. That said, the writing and critical thinking skills (and cultural savvy-ness) a history major will give you is a beneficial contribution to any education, I think, especially if you really enjoy the subject.</p>
<p>i see ok thanks</p>
