Plausible Minor for Geology Major

<p>Hey all! A little background before I ask my question, I'm a geology major at Eastern Illinois University a bout to enter my third year of college. I love my major but for a while now I've had my eye on my schools Applied Engineering and Technology minor. I would really like to add it but if I did I would be in school for 5 years as opposed to the 4 (and a little) I would be there for just geology. Does anyone think this extra year would be worth having the minor on my resume? Would I have more opportunities in the geology field? What I have in mind when thinking about this major is possibly something related to construction or oil. Any input at all is appreciated, thanks!</p>
