Math Minor or two years of foreign language but no minor?

<p>I'm a Junior Aerospace Engineering major and I can't decide between getting a math minor, which I can do, or taking four semesters of a foreign language, but no room for a minor. </p>

<p>I never had the opportunity to take a language in high school and it is not required for engineers at my school, but I really think i should speak and write something else, at least at an elementary level, before getting a full time job. I'm already halfway to the minor so I can earn it in four classes.</p>

<p>Right now i think the language would end up being better than math, but how much better is having a minor, or is math better than a language no matter what?</p>

<p>Also, I'm applying for a financial aid extension to do this. It should be pretty easy to get, but would not having a minor mean no extra money?</p>

<p>I would go for a foreign language because you'll be taking (well you HAVE taken) plenty of math courses...getting a minor isn't going to help you really. Learning a foreign language may be more interesting and MIGHT be useful in the future.</p>
