<p>Is having two separate degrees more advantageous (when getting a job) than one degree with two majors? Or are the two looked at the same, when the majors are similar?</p>
<p>By two majors I assume you mean, for example, a BSc in computer science and information technology.</p>
<p>Whereas by two degrees I assume you mean, for example, a BSc in computer science and a BA in classics.</p>
<p>Well - if my interpretation is correct, then naturally two degrees make you seem more well-rounded and two majors could make you seem much more focused and specialized.
But if my interpretation is wrong, then I don’t know, sorry :)</p>
<p>It depends on the field and the job. Some fields would look at that as presenting a very well-rounded image of you as a candidate, while others, i.e. the financial services industry, would probably look at you as someone who lacked direction and floundered about a bit in school. The vertical scale of the job might affect that as well, where an entry-level position in a humanities or arts-related field might consider that absolutely brilliant on your part, yet a mid-level or upper-range position would weigh a graduate degree of any sort far more heavily.</p>
<p>In short, it’s far too broad of a question. You ought to narrow down what your interests are and elaborate a bit further before anyone would be able to help you much.</p>
<p>at least with finance,</p>
<p>its not really that big of a deal to have a double major
it will not set you apart really all that much</p>
<p>having one major and listing relevant courses is generally enough</p>
<p>keep in mind for even the most selective jobs like ibanking</p>
<p>they interview and hire english majors with slim to no relevant coursework</p>
