Double Major? good or bad?

This is not a decision you have to make now. I would say at this point just take General Chemistry and General Biology along with general education courses at the community college and concentrate on making good grades. After you have completed these courses you will have a better idea of what you would like to major in - Biology or something like English or History.\n\nIt is true that the more science you have, the better chance you will have on the MCAT but medical schools do not require that you major in a science. In fact, they are pleased when a candidate for med school has a broad liberal arts education in addition to the pre-med requirements.\n\nI wish you well at the community college. It is really important that almost all of your grades are A.\n\ns

None is better than the other. It's about the major you fit in. I'm not sure what specific technical background you have. Sometimes one doesn't have to choose which one you want, because one only fulfills the requirements for either, not both.

Not at all, I am in law school right now and there is a wide variety of majors.  If I had been able to start all over, I would have studied Economics, History, Government, and Philosophy.  However, a business or engineering degree wouldn't be that bad either.\n\nThere is actually somebody in my section with a degree in opera, and I go to a top 16 law school!

It depends how far you want to go with physics.  I think that physics is absolutely great for everyone with a decent math background as a supplemental class.  I love it because (among other things) it justifies a lot of the math that you put up with for many years.\n\nIf you want to take physics seriously and are considering it for a major, you should probably give it a whole lot of thought.  Deep physics is buried under abstract concepts and much of your enjoyment depends on your ability to take those abstract mathematical concepts and reapply them to reality.  Personally, I love it!\n\nIf you haven't been exposed to any physics before, you should be comfortable with trigonometry and that SHOULD be enough to get you through an honors physics course.  More importantly, you should be very confident of both your intuition and logic and when to trust one or the other.  Jearl Walker's "The Flying Circus of Physics" is a tad advanced (I don't understand half the problems) but if you can confidently put forth a guess on a physics problem, you should be more than ready for an actual class.

Absolutely! If you choose a major and minor that is in demand, or least one has a demands for success, it can help you beat the economy.   Blessings.

A good economics class can be very useful for you in the future.  I wouldn't skip it.  But a major?  It depends on where your interests lie. Do you have to pick a major right now? Maybe just select something general for now until you find something that really turns you on for a major.

There are too many universities to list that offer that major.  You should go to various university websites and do some research.

It is best to go with what you feel is best. If you feel that taking both courses at the same time would be too much them don't do it. It is best to go into the semester knowing you can kick but in your courses rather than doubting yourself. I have always gotten better results when I know I  can handle a course load.

If you're only concerned with credit hours and you have good study skills, it's probably ok.\n\nIf you really want to gain something beyond that, regardless of your major, then no. You need to take a class with a lab component so that you can experience, first hand, chemistry and understand the scientific concepts the way they were meant to be understood ... in a lab.

Just about no one know what they want to do when they get to college and if they think they do, 9 times out of 10, that changes. That's why in many schools you don't even declare a major until your sophmore year at the earliest. \n\nSchools know that it is a good idea for freshman to arrive and acclimate themselves to their surroundings before worrying about a major. They need to actually experience classes in different disciplines before picking your major. So many people go in thinking about one major, but eventually change to a related or sometimes unrelated discipline. I thought I would be a Poli Sci major, but after Intro to Poli Sci, I knew that wasn't going to happen. I eventually became an English/Communication double major.\n\nMy advice is to wait and keep an open mind about majors. When you get there concentrate on fufilling your general requirements (the general liberal arts base required of all students enrolled) before looking at specialized courses. Experience as many different areas as you can. There will be plenty of time for picking a major in the next semester or two. Don't worry!

Those are two very good choices.  As is accounting.  Understanding the information system is key so I really like the double major.\n\nHave you had any opportunities to intern or work in an office.  Take the summer and try temping. You might find you like one area more than another.

That depends on what you're majoring in, but I would say NYU is not a bad bet.

A lot of fun, it feels nice to be more independent. Partying is fun, but do be careful, you grades can suffer. College is the best years of school, at least I think.

I'd suggest economics.  If you are not too far along in college, you could probably give up enough electives so the double major wouldn't extend the time it takes to get a degree.

Ok...I am a pre-med student wiht a major in Biology and a minor in Chemistry.  Pre-med means that you will be taking the required courses for getting accepted into a medical school. It is very difficult and stressful. I wish you the best! oh and you can major in anything you want as long as you take the pre-med courses on the side you'll do good. Also it looks good when you have volunteered or are actively involved in organizations or clubs. Apply to a college who has a good reputation for preparing students for Med School. Good Luck!!!

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.

Look, don't let anybody get you down by saying what you're doing is useless. I'm sure there's plenty of opportunity at least for teaching sociology. I think however that it's best to double major if you're really interested in sociology. That's not really answering your question, but I'm just being honest. Sociologists are sometimes hired by corporations for planning things like when to release a new product or something. But you'd also want a background in economics for that. It all depends on what classes you take in your major, what you really want to do and how willing you are to adapt to various situations. That's about all I can say before I start sounding like a mom!
