So I’m a first year student at UW Seattle and am in my second quarter right now. I haven’t decided on a major yet, I’ve been absolutely clueless on what I want to major in because I’m just worried about making such a huge decision and regretting it later on. However, last quarter I randomly ended up taking a linguistics class and really loved it and the professor. I didn’t do poorly or super well, but I still loved it and was super interested. It made me think about majoring in linguistics but I know that’s kind of a limited field that many people don’t find jobs from. So I’ve been thinking about what else interests me and came up with marketing and psychology (I’m taking my second psych class at UW right now!). What do you think about double majoring with one of these? Or any advice on what route I should take/how I should figure this all out? Thanks!
Hi, I’m a current student at UW (Junior) but studying Applied/Computational math with concentration on Economics. I’d say the double study you put down is pretty interesting from what I’ve seen, but maybe you should talk about the career opportunities for both with a dept adviser. See whether they’ll compliment ea other and give you an advantage or just broaden your choices in two diff fields.
Personally I always though about outright double majoring in Econ myself but I’ve decided on a few specific careers to pursue and judged that double majoring wouldn’t help.
