However, i want to study in two different majors but it would take me longer time for the degree completion. What do you think? Should i do that or just concentrate on one and then do the other?

Try and choose majors that are similar that you can use some of the courses from one degree to be transferred over to the other. Than that makes the second degree eaier to complete. I would do one at a time, that way you can concentrate on the one subbject better and increase your chances for a better mark.
This also works because you may be able to get a better job with the first degree and they may help youpay for the second degree since you won't have much left to complete it with transferred courses.
Keep up the good work by the way. I worked full-time while i did my education. and i had a kid. it is not easy... my hat off to you

I work full time and take night classes as well. Its exhausting at times, I would concentrate on one major and decide later. If you still have electives take classes for the other major that way if you decide to pursue it than you will not be far behind

Do both. It will take you longer to graduate with 2 different majors at one time than to graduate with just 1 major. BUT, it will take you less time to graduate with 2 majors at one time than to graduate with one and then go back and take another because you will then probably need to repeat many of the non-major, required classes.
I got my 2 undergraduate majors as a full time student, but I got my 2 graduate degrees as a full-time employee/part time school student.

Focus on one at a time. If you do two then you are more likely to forget the earlier stuff you learn. Plus, you can earn one degree, start making more money, and then start a second degree. If your second degree is beneficial to your job then they will probably reimburse you for some of the schooling and offer you a promotion when you do graduate.

well, if a double is what you really want, go for it. Keep in mind that for the most part it doesn't really matter what degree you get (unless its some kind of engineering or something), so a double might make no difference. But if you feel that it would be in your best interest, do it. Finishing college in a timely manner is so passe these days anyway.
