I saw the "Better 2nd major?" thread and it made me wonder if taking on a second major is a good idea. I'd think having one major is hard enough... but a second?

The reason I ask is, I've wondered whether to take a second major also. I solely put down Linguistics, but I don't think a degree in that is going to of any use without something like Computer Science to complement it for a career.

So how much harder work is a second major? Or is minoring in something a better way?

That really doesn't answer the question.

I don't know how much of a challenge a second major is.

Your better asking on a different forum tbh.
Most people here arn't in uni, they're in high school or college :)

since I was a little kid I said mine were nuclear physiology, bio-chemistry to complement it and then music and circus arts so I have four that I am going to do interesting huh I think you should take on something to complement your first.

eh im econ and polisci and its really not that bad at all, but it depends on the major requirements at your school. look at them and map out what classes youd have to take and such
