Is a doube major in English and Professional Writing too much?

<p>-I have taken a handful of APs to help get out of some classes
-I have also taken CP (They are college courses, but I don't receive credit for them. They are useful because if I take the class, I already know what to do.)
-My plan was to major with a BA in English, but I found out it was free-fall major/one of those majors everyone takes because 'it's an easy major'. My new plan is to try and double major in English and Professional Writing so, if English falls through, I can have that Professional Writing side to catch me.
-My minor would be General Psychology</p>

<p>I just want to know if this double major idea is stupid or if it's smart. If it's stupid, which major should I choose? If it is smart, would I be able to handle it?</p>

<p>Forgive my ignorance, but wouldn’t there be considerable crossover with your classes where you can double dip? Also, why do you need both majors?</p>

<p>And what would you do with a major in English if you could just pick? Just because some take a certain major because they think it’ll be easy, doesn’t mean that you would need to add a second major in some attempt to prove yourself.</p>

<p>Doing a writing internship might help you gain some sort of real world experience.</p>

<p>Why not just focus on Professional Writing if that’s what you wanted to do with an English major to begin with?</p>

<p>I don’t think you’d be denied for having experience.</p>
