<p>I have to declare my major/minor soon...Im interested in a career in law, public policy, IR, foreign service something along those (broad) lines. Im majoring in Politics. Disregarding my strengths and interests, would I be better prepared and more marketable in those fields with a minor in a) Economics or b) History, or does it make any difference at all? </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Take this with a grain of salt because this topic really is not my forte, but I would say that economics would give you a slight advantage over history.</p>
<p>Economics is much more marketable than history...</p>
<p>Economics would broaden your knowledge base and skill set more than history would.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks for the advice! I've taken more economics classes anyway, so I guess I'll stick with it.</p>
