History and Political Science double major?

<p>I will be a freshman at Syracuse University in the fall. I was originally planning to major in history and minor in animation, but lately I've been considering a double major in both history and political science. If all of my credits transfer (and I'm sure they will), I will be coming in with 34 credits. </p>

<p>I was wondering how heavy the workload is for a duel major or if it's even a good idea. I don't want to spend more than four years at university, and I want to be able to get a decent job once I graduate.</p>

<p>Would you recommend a duel major? Would my selected field help me get a good job, or is it a pointless degree? </p>

<p>I'm not really sure what it is I want to do when I graduate, so I'm sort of lost...</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>My son is finishing his freshman year, and started off poly sci. He is now thinking of adding history to dual major. He got the idea based on going over his interests with his advisor.</p>
