A: FROM MENTOR SARA RAMSDELL
IN KY
Regarding your questions about majors/minors, you might want
to try to
narrow your ideas of possibilities for the future before considering
specific fields. A minor in a non SET field may make you more
marketable
in the future. For example, my daughter who is now a veterinarian
had a
pre-vet major and Spanish minor as an undergraduate. a former
employee
majored in geology with a minor in business. The latter helped
prepare him
for the MBA he is now pursuing.
Consider also the specific requirements for majors and minors
in the
college(s) you may attend.
A: FROM MENTOR SUZETTE MINORINI
IN TX
Alaina - Yours is a very good question and can be answered
differently
depending on the major itself. In general, I'd say that your
minor should
be closely tied to your major although as you mentioned English
as a
potential choice, it is an awful good one. Possibly if you
do choose to
minor in english you may want to consider a double minor so
you also have
something substantial that is more science or math oriented.
Math is also
an excellent choice since it stresses your strength in analytical
thinking.
I wouldn't look at other 'Arts' subjects as potentials for
your minor
although they're interesting along the way. Good Luck!
