Worth it to double in Economics and Accounting?

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>So right now I have 60 hours completed at K-State towards my B.S. in Econ. At the end of this semester I'll have 76. However, I just took my first accounting class and really like it, and I've also heard many things that have made me reconsider my sole Econ major - mainly, finding a well paying job in this economy which likes people who specialize in something, and I'm realizing that even though most of my upper-level Econ classes are extremely interesting and difficult, I don't see how a lot of them have a plethora of transferable skills to the workplace. Anyways, I was thinking of double majoring in Accounting alongside Econ, and if I did so I would graduate in May of '16 instead of Dec '15.</p>

<p>Do you think it's worth it? I feel like it would give me the big picture analytical skill set that comes with an Econ major, but also this skills to perform specific operations with the Accounting major.</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>EDIT: I should note that Economics at my school is in the Arts and Sciences, so no, there aren't many overlaps in terms of the courses. </p>
