<p>Do employers look at minors at all? If so how signifigant is it?</p>
<p>I've heard that your major and minor should be closely related (ie Business/Economics) but I'm thinking of majoring in business and minoring in Government because I'd probably take all those classes anyways(because I'm interested in them) is this a bad idea/will this hurt me later?</p>
<p>Majors and minors need'nt be closely related. Actually i believe it is more commonplace for major and minors to vary wildly from eachother, so one can have a more broad education and learn more about other things that they're interested in. You may be confusing a minor with a double major. Generally, double majors should be closely (or pretty close) related so you can take all the prerequisites, focus on similar concentrations, and graduate on time in 4 years. For example, at many schools it is really difficult to double major in Accounting and Journalism because they require very different class tracks.</p>
