<p>I'm currently a sophomore in college and, if I want to graduate in a reasonable amount of time, I need to declare a major.</p>
<p>It's taken me forever to decide, but I'm considering majoring in Social Sciences and minoring in Business Administration. Now I'm faced with another set of decisions; my school allows students majoring in Social Sciences to choose three disciplines to make up their major. The disciplines I can choose from are anthropology, communication studies, criminal justice, economics, ethnic studies, gender studies, geography, history, political science, psychology, and sociology. </p>
<p>The fact that every one of those subjects interest me in some way makes it incredibly difficult for me to choose only three. I know that, in the end, it is a decision that only I can make. But I'm curious...
in your opinion, which three disciplines, when combined, will provide the most career opportunities for me when I graduate? Which three would you choose to study?</p>
<ol>
<li> History</li>
<li> Geography</li>
<li> Anthropology or Economics</li>
</ol>
<p>though the claim that history is a social science is debatable</p>
<p>economics is a pseudoscience but it’s the hip thing these days so might be useful to know</p>
<p>the others are silly</p>
<p>Have you considered accounting?</p>
<p>Have I considered accounting for what? As a major? Yes, I have. But I don’t think it suits me. My school doesn’t offer an accounting minor, but the business administration minor includes some accounting/economics.</p>
<p>What are you wanting to do with a focus in the social sciences? I feel like answering that question and then picking one of these in particular (and maybe minor in another) would help you more towards realizing your goals than this more interdisciplinary program you’ve mentioned. But I can only assume that there are full majors of each of these areas at your school.</p>
<p>Econ would give you the most opportunities upon graduation, but I don’t know if you would be taking enough Econ classes to make use of it. I would definitely think about what type of field you intend to seek once you graduate, however, and then choose the best avenue to reach it.</p>
<p>But to answer your question, if I chose three of these they would be Econ, Poli Sci, and History.</p>
