<p>I'm trying to decide if I should triple major in psychology, cognitive science, and music. I'm not sure if this would hurt me or be beneficial. I know triple majors are strenuous but I am genuinely in psychology and cognitive science and although they do overlap each offers me a little something different. And on top of this I love music and I enjoy learning about it and joining various ensembles and such. Also I have a scholarship for private lessons and the only way to maintain this scholarship is to continue on the path to be a music major. I want to study neuroscience in graduate school and all the programs that I've looked into want strong backgrounds in psychology and cognitive science if you come from a social science background. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>All of these fields are less quantitative, and therefore more useless, than biology, which itself is more worthless than chemistry.</p>
<p>If it doesn’t have math, it’s garbage.</p>
<p>I would study biology over all three of them. It will prepare you more for the rigors of neuroscience (which is biology). Maybe double major in biology and cognitive science for a good prep for neuroscience or biology and music for prep and pleasure.</p>
<p>Biology’s worthless too because it is the study of memorizing useless trivia. I had a 3.3 GPA in bio before I switched out and know less about my major, than some 1.8 GPA guys in EE about their major. At least the EE guys can tell you what a transistor was, I can’t, and who the f cares what RNAse is, if you didn’t know that knowledge will you die or will your lights go out? but if you don’t know the laws of physics, you very may well die.</p>
<p>so my recommendation is: you’re not interested in any of that crap. study Engineering (anything except Biomedical), Physics, Math, CS, or maybe Chemistry, but only if your school doesn’t require biochemistry, since anything that has “Bio” in it is fking cursed.</p>
<p>We are talking about neuroscience grad school. </p>
<p>I don’t recommend even majoring in science or going to grad school in science. But if you want to go that path than biology with neuro electives would be the best way.</p>
<p>Hmm… This is kind of late but I feel the need to warn people. </p>
<p>I completed a triple major last May with a focus in the social sciences and have been unemployed for a year. My credit is shot from defaulting on loans and I can’t even get an interview with a substantive company. Employers hate triple majors because they are viewed as managerial problems. </p>
<p>Avoid the social sciences and get yourself a nice single major in something quanty with a good internship.</p>
<p>I don’t see any of the majors providing you with employable hard skills rather than soft intangible skills. Pick a science if you must and combine it with Accounting , HR, or BBA/MBA and get into the business side of a research company.</p>
<p>Human Resources (HR) is a college major?</p>

<p>Junkmajor do you think only mentioning one or two of your majors on your resume would be a good idea?</p>
<p>I think it is less about how many majors but more about what the majors were in.</p>
