<p>My D first major is going to be Environmental science, but plans on double majoring, so which major would you say would compliment her first? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>There are many possibilities…in part, it depends what’s available at her school…in part, it depends on her particular interests in environmental science…
Chemistry/Toxicology
Geology
Geography
Economics/Ag & Resource Economics/Business
Political Science/Public Policy
Atmospheric & Oceanic Science/Meterology
Engineering (Ag/Biosystems E., Civil E., Chemical E., Materials Science)
Technical Writing/Science & Environmental Communication/Journalism
Biology (General Bio, Microbiology, Ecology & Evolution)
Applied Biology/Ag Sciences (Hydrology/Soil Science, Agro-Ecology/Sustainable Ag)
Public Health</p>
<p>Of course, two majors don’t necessarily have to be directly related to each other.</p>
<p>Thanks, I know the Major list is long, and there are some great ideas you have there, that is why I was hoping someone could narrow it down with some insight to future employment.</p>
<p>a 2nd major might complement your first but they rarely if ever compliment. You could therefore say that majors are thankless.</p>
<p>Seriously though, learn the difference.</p>
<p>She should get through her first year and learn what opportunities are available at her university before making any kind of decision. She will see if a second major is useful or relevant or whether moving on more quickly to a graduate degree is better for her career.</p>
<p>Do chemical/material engineering and find a replacement for the plastic we have now!.. <em>works for an organization trying to stop the use of single use plastics</em></p>
<p>Do not double major. Do not double major. Do not double major. </p>
<p>It is a waste of time, money, and resources. The double major counts a lot less then most people think, and as far as the coursework is concerned she could just take the courses she wants to on the side. To put this in perspective: environmental science is a field where a graduate degree is basically a must-have. Depending on how long it would take to complete the double major, she could effectively have a graduate degree in the same amount of time. The graduate degree is worth far more than the double major is.</p>
<p>Also, I would recommend that she consider majoring in geology. There are plenty of opportunities for her to get into environmental science from a geology degree, but there are lots of other options as well (many of which that are far more lucrative than environmental science). The environmental science job market is… lackluster to say the least.</p>
<p>Thanks to all, some good insight.</p>
<p>Id say biology</p>
<p>I’d say sociology </p>
