<p>I am looking into going into computer engineering. I was thinking about getting a minor in something too. Any idea what a good minor to go along with computer engineering would be?
Also is a minor in Business worth anything?</p>
<p>A math minor would be easy to get, but I don’t know if it would add much. It would show that you want to take that extra step, and it would probably only be another course or two. I have heard that a business minor could be helpful. I had some friends that are doing that. However, it’s not as easy as it seems. At my school is requires another 15 hours, which isn’t exactly a walk in the park. Engineering is tough as it is, and throwing in another 15 hours, makes it that much more difficult. A business minor, if you are devoted, could definitely be a good asset walking into an interview and could make you more attractive for hiring and advancement to managerial positions</p>
<p>Let’s not talk about minor until you finish your sophomore year.
That’s because often time you will find that doing a minor beside math is very difficult. The rule of thumb says that you should only minor for one of the two, or both reasons: the minor is practical and can be integrated, and / or for self-interest. </p>
<p>A minor in history as a computer engineering is not going to grant you more job offers, but if you take that for personal interest by all mean go ahead.</p>
<p>Just wait until the end of your sophomore year. Is a math minor necessary? I don’t know. For my school the two extra classes we need for minor are often restricted to just two courses, because of other pre-requites so you can’t take any other math courses but just those two. </p>
<p>Is a physics minor useful? Is a chemistry minor useful? Most likely no, unless you know have a very clear idea of what you want to pursue as a career.</p>
<p>I recommend a minor in enjoying a social life and not wasting time studying.</p>
<p>Does social life include sleeping too? I think that’s important too. :]</p>
<p>
Most students take that as a major.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Very true.</p>
<ol>
<li>Good Grades</li>
<li>Social life</li>
<li>Enough sleep</li>
<li>Minor
Choose two.</li>
</ol>
<p>Dylan, I don’t think you would get much out of a business minor. I can see where using an elective course to take intro to accounting would be worthwhile, but the rest really won’t help you.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! I think i will pick Good Grades and Social Life.</p>
<p>Good luck, Dylan. And you still need enough sleep!</p>
<p>Still have 2 more years in highschool so plenty of time to figure everything else out</p>
