Getting a college minor or double major is rarely required, however having one can only help your resume. Many students have interests in multiple subjects and want to know if it's worth it to do a double major or even just go for a minor to increase their knowledge. Although it can only help, by adding on that extra workload, you will sacrifice time and probably money. These are the two most important factors to consider. If you are taking out student loans you may not want to pursue a double major that will keep you in school longer than you had planned. Although these do look great on a resume, for many majors it doesn't drastically improve your career. If you do pursue one of these, try to make it very related to your primary major so that there is overlap in the curriculum which will lower the course load.

Note: Not all employers will care about your minor or second major (especially if it's not related to your primary major).
