Answer 1

Once you get in the "real world", your minor doesn't count for crap.

If you want to go to an "easy" grad school; your MS likely won't, either.

Answer 2

Minors do not matter - no one's going to care what you minored in and it certainly won't win you any job.

You want some good advice? What you're doing now doesn't sound terribly worthwhile as a bachelors degree. Maybe you should consider a nice mainstream business-related major that employees look for -- Finance or Accounting. No one is looking to hire anyone who majored in "Organizational Effectiveness". You can get a job, but you'll be getting it despite your major, not because of it.

Answer 3

You might be able to go to grad school, but make sure you have all your prerequisites done, including math. Otherwise, your minor may give you valuable skills---but nothing you can get a job with.

My major in economics wouldn't get me anywhere if I weren't working on another degree too.
