Is a minor important?

<p>I dunno if I am suppose to post questions like these in the cafe, but I wasn't sure where else to post it.</p>

<p>...but, I am a bit conflicted. I'm majoring in Marketing, and was going to minor in Visual Arts. I looked at all the classes I need to graduate, and I found that if I don't do the minor, I could finish in three semesters instead of four. That would mean I would save a lot of money from tuition and such. But, I was looking forward to taking art, and I would love to do something related in it; like marketing for the art institute or any art related industry in Chicago. (I live an hour away from the city). Can minors be important or tie breakers for hiring managers? Or are they a waste of time?</p>

<p>I chose a business degree, but one of my passions is art. But saving money is very attractive. Any opinions?</p>

<p>I'm assuming by "semester" you meant year. I would say that if you're interestd in Visual arts, perhaps double-major.</p>

<p>no, I meant three semesters...I'm at a community college right now getting my ge's and lower business classes done, so I'm transferring to a University to go for four semesters, but I could be done in three if I didn't have a minor. Too late to do a double-major</p>

<p>anyone else???</p>
