Question About Minor?

<p>Hey guys, I'll be a freshman at GaTech this fall and I'm gonna major in chemical engineering. My parents and I were talking about what I should minor in one night and I got really stuck between two options: Spanish or Business.</p>

<p>I feel like Spanish would be a really good one because I've already taken 5 years of it and got a 3 on the AP exam (which didn't get e credit so I'd have to start at the 1000 level courses) so it's be an easy GPA booster which I'll definitely need. But then I thought, "how valuable would Spanish actually be?" Foreign languages are extremely easy to me so an other suggestions would me nice</p>

<p>But then I feel like a degree in business would be prety good to have so that I could make my way to management positions in the future(?) But I feel like business is a pretty huge subject and it'd be hard to do that and engineering and try to graduate in 5 (hopefully 4 if I work enough in the summers) years.</p>

<p>Registration for classes opens at midnight tonight and I kinda wanna take at least 1 class toward the minor this semester so any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Even though I am a business major, I would encourage you to pursue Spanish. You can learn business principles on the job and later with an MBA, but a second language may be easier to acquire while still in school with all those Spanish classes still fresh. I don’t know what you want to do career-wise, but a second language is always a benefit, especially Spanish as it’s usage is growing here in the US.</p>
