Did your double major help?

Question

I am planning to double major, i've been very undecisive about double majoring and finally decided that i want to do it. But what i really want to know is for those of you that did double major, did it play an important role for you when you applied for jobs? Was double majoring worth it for yor career?

Answer 1

I found the time spent earning a double major degree to be a real asset. I completed a BA in History (Canadian) and 20th Century English Literature. I loved it! Tonnes of reading; tonnes of writing. After completed that degree I earned a second, one in education. For my field the double major was invaluable. I have a wide ranging academic background that prepared me well to teach many different subjects. To answer your questions, though, my double major was a wise course to take for my career. I think for any field or career (like law, education or jounalism) that requires a broad and diverse knowledge base a double major would be a great pursuit. Go for it and enjoy it!

Answer 2

Yes, it did. English was my double major...It helped me learn more about human nature and human behavior. Go for it, it will help you too...
