I am 19 and can graduate next year (when im 20). I didn't know if that was a good idea, or if I should stay an extra year and double major. I'm still unsure about what I want to do for a job, but I'm thinking of majoring in family services or social work or a combination of the two. I'm thinking grad school is a possiblility, but i'm still very undecided about what I want to do in the future.

I would concur with others that there is no need to stay an extra year and get a second BA - if you can get into a MA program you would be better off. Now others are also correct that being so young will present potential challenges in the human services, but they are not unsurmountable. I would not however go on for an MA unless you are clear on what you want to do. You might get a job in the field and see what you like and don't like. You might also consider something like Americorp or even the Peace Corp as a way of helping you to understand your true passions. Developing more life experience will aid you in what ever your work will be and in your future education.

Yes, you should.
I graduated from college at age 20. Then, I got a full scholarship for a Master. I will have a Master as age 22.
Congrats :)

Go ahead and graduate early. Spend the extra time in grad school. No one cares about double majors or even the bachelor's degree. They do care about master's and PhD degrees.

I never understood why people would go to college before knowing what they wanted to do... that seems backwards to me. My advice would be to graduate early and try and get some internships or entry level jobs in in family services or social work. to see what you like about them. Once you know what you want to do you will be able to better choose the right curriculum for yourself.
Going to college just to say you did is a waste of money.

GREAT Idea!
Time is very precious.
Double major is a good idea to get into professional school or grad school, take another language, get some teaching certification or just take courses you enjoy, music, art, math, science, etc

Stick around for one more year, unless you know exactly what you want to do, and have a specific plan.
Believe me, you'll spend the rest of your working life wishing you could go back to college ...
