A minor does not have to be related to the major at all.  It is a choice to have a minor, so you don't have to have one.  Having a minor is going to require that you have a certain number of credits in the field that you choose for your minor.  It generally looks good on job applications if your minor also relates to the job, but it isn't necessary.\n\nYou will want to check with the department at the school that you are going to to see if they have a minor available.  Most departments do, but not all.  They also vary with how many credits they require and what specific classes you will need to take, so be sure to look into that too.  \n\nAnother option is the double major, which can make more sense sometimes if there isn't much of a difference in the credits you need for the minor or for the major.  That looks good on an application and probably gives you a little more flexibility when choosing what field to go in after school.  Good luck.

I would suggest majoring in one or two languages, and minoring in something like business or poli sci.  These are not topics that make me jump for joy either, but they help you keep your options open.  Foreign languages can be used in a variety of settings, so it's always good to be flexible…and, let's face it, a majority of the careers that you will find with a degree in foreign languages will be related to business, government, or education.  The reason I don't suggest a minor in education is that it wouldn't help you post-graduation; you'd have to major to get your teaching credentials.*\n\nIf you majored in Spanish and live in the US, you certainly could do some kind of work with community or non-profit organizations.  \n\nWith languages, diplomatic work also suggests itself as a possibility. \n\nAnother logical choice–not the best choice, necessarily, but something that logically flows from studying several languages–is a graduate degree in linguistics, comparative literature, or the literature of one particular language.  I've studied several Romance languages and Latin, and this is the career path I chose.  Unless you go into linguistics/language acquisition, jobs tend to be hard to come by.\n\nHope that helps.\n\n-Fuz\n\n*One more thing: if you know of some field that you are interested in besides languages, minor in that instead.       Say you like art; minor in art or art history.  That could open up careers in museum/gallery work, for example.

WELL, I don't know what to tell you here.  If I had to answer the question from a outside perspective (i.e. not having a B.S. in math and a physics minor myself), I would say having the physics minor is a sign that not only are you able to conquer the rigid world of mathematics, but that you are flexible enough to apply the math to a specific discipline, in your case physics, rather than just having a pure logic style of thinking that turns math majors into math Ph.Ds.  \n\nFrom my personal perspective, it hasn't meant much.  I'm headed into the education field since I haven't been able to solidify a job doing anything I'm interested in related to math or physics.  I hope you have a better student services/job placement program at your school.

What is your major?  Also, think about taking the courses to fulfill your general requirements...and that they are transferable, so you don't have to take them again.

You can take whatever courses you are lacking to get into the social work area. I think most social workers have a masters degree. It is sad, but I see too many people go to college without any set goals in regards to employment after college. All college students should major in something that can earn them a reasonable wage, not just to take up time and space at college, and then later down the line, find out that what they trained for is useless in earning a real living.

I think you should minor in jewelery design becuase it sound like it would be interesting and it kinda sounds fun! I think you should give it a try. (I posted a question kinda like yours today Esthetician or Manicuring please check it out and give me your answer.)\n\nThanks & good luck on finding a minor!

You only get a degree on the subject you are majoring in. You can get a degree in the "minor" that you have chosen, if you had earned enough credits on that subject. but then, that wouldn't be your "minor" anymore, would it?\n\nto answer your question, minor, i guess, is to show off how diversified your education has been. some people minor a language to get better chance to be employed in foreign companies or MNCs as well.\n\nim from hong kong btw. but education system is not so different as far as major/minor is concerned...i guess

it depends. close your eyes. imagine yourself in a career.\nwhatever you see is what you need to do.\nyou could major in one and minor in the other.\nfirst you should start with a general study, then maybe your sophmore or junior year in colledge, you can swich to something more spacific.\nyou may get there and change your mind completley.\nthat is why it is good to start off in a general area but still going to a colledge that offers those courses.\nif your highschool offers street law... you should take it to see if you like it.\nalso...\nhow do you do in health/welness class?\ndo yuo enjoy it?\ndont worry too much. you still have time :)

What you lose by having majors is the well-rounded student that has tried many things to help decide what they would like to do. That being said, choosing a major even in high school or college does not mean that you are stuck doing that one thing for the rest of your life. Life is a learning process and you should continue to stretch yourself. This sometimes means that you find new things that interest you and end up making a career change later on. That's fine. \n\nMy daughter is in high school but she has known since she was 5 what she wanted to do for a career. Even so, we have made sure that she expanded her horizons and tried many different things, just in case. My son, however, has just decided over the past 2 years what he would like to study and it has been like a light bulb went off over his head because he now has a goal and enjoys his classes whereas before he was just taking them because someone told him he had to. With his major chosen he feels he has direction which is what he needed.\n\nAs for the class-size amendment... Class size is more important in the elementary school years than in the later years. One of the reasons it was brought up was because teachers were being too stretched. The problem is that class size isn't the only thing stretching them. The administration, management and paperwork of teaching has increased so much that it drains more than extra students could except then the extra students require more paperwork (outside of grading papers) and administrative tasks so that teachers have less time to actually teach.

It really depends on the schools you apply to, and the major you intend to declare. If you didn't do so well on the math section but want to major in History or something, I think most colleges would look past it if you have everything else that they're looking for

It's really not for me to decide because i'm naturally good in math but i think you should continue becasue for example in my school, they require you at least take pre cal. but, ultimately it's your decision and yours alone. so good luck with whatever you pick. if you're choosing to go on, you can get a tutor if you're really bad.

it's my minor hehhehee\n\nyou should contact any local schools and ask them for more information, of-course they going tell great stuff :).. \nyou need to do i get a ideal of what class you will be taking for the major, so look on all the require class and such. If you think u can learn them or able to learn them then you go around and find school that meets your time and budget.\n\n if you going for a full-time student going a university is better than 2year school but 2 years offer class that works around your job so that why half time continuing eduction students takes it. \n\nwhat you have to focus is in these area:\n-Economics\n-accountant\n-Managment (usally know more of a Information technology version which means that most of the stuff will be handle in computers)\n-Database\n-A little knowledge in computer programing.\n\nMy sister is also thinking going to school and she thinking about Business Management or Management Infromation Systems

Yes you can, as long as you can have time to do it.  Be wary of over -extending yourself.  It might be better to major in one thing and minor in two and get better grades than do 2 or 3 majors, and do badly because you can't keep up with the work.\n\nHowever, my friend in college majored in two things.  One thing to be aware of, most colleges and universities, even if you major in 2 things, they only allow you to take the one degree on your diploma that day, so she had majored in both communications (Bachelor of Arts) and Computer Science (Bachelor of Science).  She decided it would be better for her career to have her diploma say the Bachelor of Science major.\n\nGood to hear you have a lot of ambition.  You'll do well in life...

Actually, perhaps you need to blaze your own way. The university that I did my undergrad at had a "make your own" degree program. You still had to satisfy basic requirements, but you could actually make your own, with approval from the college whose umbrella it fell under. Also, I suggest that NO ONE declares a major until their sophomore or even junior year. Get your core out of the way. The point of core classes is to introduce you to new things. It is NOT to teach you the basics; you should have gotten that in gradeschool. That is why you have to take things like history, art, sociology, science, math, english, foreign language, etc. for your core. It is to introduce you to new and useful fields that you might find appetizing.

I think you should probably major in pre-law or criminal justice with a minor in psychology. I know at my college some of the psychology courses are required for pre-law majors. But before you make a definite decision you should probably schedule an appointment with the Dean or Chairperson of the law department, tell them what you would like to do, and ask their opinion on what type of courseload you should take. Hope this helps you out!!!!

Weird combination. Minors are supposed to build upon the major, not be entirely unrelated. Ultimately, I say minor in whatever interests you. I majored in journalism and minored in history, just because history interests me.

When I was an undergrad freaking out about my major, the best advice I got was to do the following: Pick up a copy of your university's catalog, somewhere near the front of it will most likely be a list of all the possible majors at your school.  Now, go through and cross off everything you know you definitly DON'T want to do.\n\nIt was simple advice but it helped me so much.  I was overwhelmed with possibilities, once I was able to narrow down my options (in this way), I felt like I could more easily choose.  \n\nI think that will help you a lot.\n\nThen, yes, go talk to your advisor and anyone else you know that has a job you might be interested in.\n\nAnd finally, your major does not decide your life.  Most businesses are interested in you having an undergraduate degree, from there you can always go to graduate school once you have a more specific set of career goals.
