<p>I was wondering how realistic it would be to take up several majors at a liberal arts college, such as Swarthmore or Middlebury. I've looked on Google, but the few articles I found said it was not worth it, in context of people looking for better job marketability.</p>
<p>I'm just curious, I'm not your next Bill Gates, financially not so great, and I've seen that single majors at your LAC are having a difficult enough time. I'm looking at Philosophy, Neuroscience, Computer Science, and Environmental Science.</p>
<p>I don't care so much about income or jobs, $40,000 or $140,000 a year doesn't look any different to me. I would do this only because I'm genuinly wanting to learn.</p>
<p>I would want to go for my PhD, and very possibly become a professor or writer, but I think I'd have a difficult time just choosing which area to go in. Although things might be easier once I start studying and find what subjects I truly like the most.</p>
<p>Go for it. If you are passionate about 2 subjects then by all means do it. If you are not, then don't. And if it will add another year to study, then consider the money, but other then that, do it.</p>
<p>Im gonna double major cause Im really interested in what I am studying now (im only in high school right now)</p>
<p>Study what you want to study, and then take a look and see if your interests work with the major requirements. I took a bunch of classes in the Classical Studies department here at Richmond, and I looked up the major requirements, and low and behold, I am one class away from a major. Totally unintended, but I think it's pretty cool. Good luck, and enjoy yourself.</p>
<p>It pretty much all depends on the particular requirements of the institution for a major, and the requirements of each major itself. It also helps very much if you're bringing in some form of credit.</p>
<p>For example, I brought in 9 history credits, and after this semester, I'm done with 16- and the major only requires 30, so I'm halfway done. So it's very easy for me to double major, as I am in Politics and History. On the other hand, things like neuroscience, enviro studies, and comp sci generally have much more intense credit requirements, so it'd be more difficult.</p>
