<p>I plan to major in Economics (specifically the more business oriented track) and need to declare a minor. I am a big fan of English and writing/reading is my strong suit so I was thinking of making it my minor. I want to work in business one day or something along those lines. Would English hinder me at all or what are your opinions? Thank you for your help</p>
<p>People who can write well about economics will always be in demand. Check out the columns of Paul Krugman ([Economics</a> and Politics by Paul Krugman - The Conscience of a Liberal - NYTimes.com](<a href=“http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/]Economics”>http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/)) or the Freakonomics website ([Freakonomics](<a href=“http://www.freakonomics.com/]Freakonomics[/url]”>http://www.freakonomics.com/)</a>).</p>
<p>You do a lot of writing just being in an Economics major itself. What you need is a technical minor like Math or Accounting.</p>
<p>It just seems like everyone that does Econ takes the same minor and I was just curious if something not so common like English would make a difference. Seems kind of silly if you get into business but you have zero to non writing skills.</p>
